Once upon a time, a bunch of people boarded wooden ships and sailed across a vast ocean to the 'new world'. It took many months to get there and along the way many got sick and died. When they finally arrived, weak, short on supplies, they were faced with a daunting task of colonizing a vast, unknown land. They experienced new diseases they had never faced, wildlife they and never seen. Many more died. But they continued on.
For a well known group, as they faced winter, without enough food or supplies, a group of native peoples found them, brought them food allowing them to carry on and face the winter. Today, Americans celebrate that as Thanks Giving.
The morale of the story? I can't FUCKING wait for alien Thanksgiving.
