Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada in which people give thanks for the blessings in their lives, typically by gathering with family and friends and sharing a large meal together.
In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. In Canada, it is celebrated on the second Monday in October.
The holiday originated as a way for early settlers in America to give thanks for a successful harvest. Today, it is a day to express gratitude for all the blessings in our lives and to spend time with loved ones.
The traditional Thanksgiving meal usually includes turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. However, many families also incorporate their own family recipes and traditions into the meal.
Celebrations vary, but most people gather with family and friends for a large meal. Some also attend parades or watch football games. It is also a common practice to express gratitude and give back to the community through volunteering or donating to those in need.
