Thanksgiving, also known as Thanksgiving Day, is a national holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November every year. It originated as a harvest festival in 1621 and has since become a day for people to give thanks for the blessings in their lives.
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated by the Pilgrims in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621 after a successful harvest, which they shared with the Wampanoag tribe. It was a three-day feast that included food such as turkey, pumpkin pie, and corn, as well as games and other festivities.
Over the years, Thanksgiving has become a time for families and friends to come together and celebrate with a traditional meal, often featuring a roasted turkey as the centerpiece. Many traditions have developed around the holiday, such as watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and playing or watching football games.
Although Thanksgiving is primarily celebrated in the United States, Canada also has a Thanksgiving holiday, which falls on the second Monday in October.
