Answer 1

Nov. 23

thanksgiving day is when we give thanks for all we have. the US associates it with pilgrims who settled in Plymouth, Massachusets. the Wampanog tribe helped them survive there. after the harvest, they had a feast. during that time it was not regarded as thanksgiving yet. harvest feasts were common in england and for the native american tribes. the pilgrims didn't hold a true thanksgiving until 1623 after a drought. Thanksgiving started to become and annual celebration in 1630 for the Massachusets Bay Colony. It started to spread after that.

Answer 2

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter. In that year Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving. The colonists celebrated it as a traditional English harvest feast, to which they invited the local Wampanoag Indians. Days of thanksgiving were celebrated throughout the colonies after fall harvests. All thirteen colonies did not, however, celebrate Thanksgiving at the same time until October 1777. George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789. A New National Holiday By the mid–1800s, many states observed a Thanksgiving holiday. Meanwhile, the poet and editor Sarah J. Hale had begun lobbying for a national Thanksgiving holiday. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, looking for ways to unite the nation, discussed the subject with Hale. In 1863 he gave his Thanksgiving Proclamation, declaring the last Thursday in November a day of thanksgiving. In 1939, 1940, and 1941 Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. Controversy followed, and Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday of November, where it remains

Tomorrow in US. It is usually on a Thursday. Normally the next to the Last Thursday in November. The Americans celebrated with the Indians (native Americans).

Nov 24th this year, but in case you see this later just wanted to wish you a great Thanksgiving!

Answer 8

Shouldn't we be giving thanks every single day of the year, and not on some pre-determined, government-sponsered, highly commercialized day?

And, as for getting together and "feasting" with family and friends, again, why on some special day? Should we not be doing this regularly all throughout the year as well?
