Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a cultural holiday primarily celebrated in the United States and Canada, honoring historical events where early settlers, known as Pilgrims, shared a feast with Native Americans in gratitude for a successful harvest. Today, it is a time for people to gather with family and friends to enjoy a festive meal, express gratitude, and reflect on blessings. The holiday also features parades, football games, and volunteer activities, emphasizing community and thankfulness. While rooted in history, modern celebrations focus on family, gratitude, and cultural traditions.
