It's an American bank holiday/festival, held on the fourth Thursday of November, whereby people Give Thanks to God for the harvest and their lives of plenty. I think this dates from the Pilgrim Fathers and the first settlers.

It is the day the Americans shared dinner with the Indians right before we slaughtered them.
