Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks (traditionally to God) at the close of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In Great Britain, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the land on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest. This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers.

It's a holiday celebrated in the US with feasting and appreciation to remember the first year pilgrims lived and survived in North America. Traditionally we remember a similar feast between the Pilgrims and Native Americans that celebrated their friendship and peace.
