"Thanksgiving" is an English word that refers to a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada.
In the United States, Thanksgiving is observed on the fourth Thursday of November. It is a day for giving thanks for the harvest and blessings of the past year, often celebrated with family gatherings and a traditional meal that typically includes turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October, also as a harvest festival and a time to express gratitude.
The word itself combines "thanks" (gratitude) and "giving", reflecting the spirit of appreciation central to the holiday.
