Happy THANKSGIVING is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the USA and originated as a day for Americans to give thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.

This year, Thanksgiving will take place on Thursday, November 22. The American tradition is based on the colonial Pilgrims’ harvest meal in 1621, but although Thanksgiving originated as a harvest family, in recent years the day is used to spend time with family and loved ones. On Thanksgiving Americans will gather for a day of feasting, football and family.
