This video is about the origins of Christmas and how it evolved into what it is today. Most people believe that Christmas is only tied in with the birth of Christ, but as this video shows, it goes back much further. It also appears in many different cultures all over the world.
This video is about the origins of Thanksgiving. It talks about the First Thanksgiving, the three day feast between the colonists and the Wampanog Indian Tribe in 1621 and why this is considered the "first thanksgiving". However, later in the nineteenth century it is said that the colonists celebrated Thanksgiving more as a religious holiday to give thanks to God, instead of tying it back in with the 1621 feast.
