Does any other country celebrate Thanksgiving?

Question

or a type of thanksgiving holiday

why would I be joking. i thought America got the idea of thanks giving from Europe but not sure if they still celebrate it

i did not mean at the same time i meant do othe rocunries have like a feast of thanks

do other countries*

Answer 1

Thanksgiving is exclusively an American holiday because people in other countries have nothing for which to be thankful. I'm kidding. :-)

As a matter of fact, Canada has a Thanksgiving day on the second Monday of October. Since it caps the weekend, it is usually considered a three-day affair.

Many European countries have some type of "thanks for the harvest" traditions, and Jews have the "Feast of Tabernacles" (Sukkoth) which serve the function of returning thanks for bountiful blessings (though these traditions are different from Thanksgiving.

So to answer your question, no, nobody does Thanksgiving at the same time and in the same way as we do here in the United States, but some countries have other traditions that serve the same purpose.

Answer 8

In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe had gathered for their annual Green Corn Festival which is our Thanksgiving celebration. In the predawn hours the sleeping Indians were surrounded by English and Dutch mercenaries who ordered them to come outside. Those who came out were shot or clubbed to death while the terrified women and children who huddled inside the longhouse were burned alive. The next day the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared "A Day Of Thanksgiving" because 700 unarmed men, women and children had been murdered.

Cheered by their "victory", the brave colonists and their Indian allies attacked village after village. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered. Boats loaded with a many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England. Bounties were paid for Indian scalps to encourage as many deaths as possible.

Answer 9

Canada and the United States are the only two countries that celebrate Thanksgiving. It all stems from the Mayflower; thus, we are the only ones who celebrates this Holiday.

Answer 10

Not our thanksgiving. Our thanks giving is because of a feast the pilgrims had with the Indians after the Indians helped and taught them how to fish and hunt.
