Forefathers' Day is a special day celebrated on December 21 to remember the Pilgrims who sailed on a ship called the Mayflower. They landed in America in 1620. These people are called "forefathers" because they started one of the first communities in what is now the United States. They faced many challenges, but they worked hard to build their new home. On Forefathers' Day, people honor their bravery and courage. It's a time to think about how those past efforts helped shape our present life, and sometimes there are gatherings or small events to remember this important part of history.

In the evening, gather around and light candles to remember those who came before you. Share what you're grateful for and make a wish for the future.
