Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada. It is a day for giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
The tradition dates back to 1621, when the Pilgrims and Native Americans shared an autumn harvest feast. This event is considered one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.
Today, families and friends gather to share a meal that usually includes turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Many people also take time to reflect on what they are thankful for.
