It’s that time of the year again when my American and Canadian friends celebrate Thanksgiving.
The history of Thanksgiving goes back to the sixteen hundreds. History says it was started by the Pilgrims. In the US, Turkey is a symbol of Thanksgiving.
What is Thanksgiving?
“Thanksgiving Day is an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada, celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The American holiday is rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. Concerning vehicular travel, the holiday is often the busiest of the year, as family members gather with one another. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November each year.”
