Thanksgiving is a holiday primarily celebrated in the United States and Canada to show gratitude and appreciate the blessings received throughout the year. In the North American country, it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in honor of a feast that occurred in 1621 between the Plymouth settlers and the Wampanoag Indians, where they shared a prosperous harvest. It is a time to gather with family, eat a classic dinner of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, and contemplate what is valued. It also marks the beginning of the holiday season and comes with celebrations like the Macy's Parade in New York and Black Friday the next day.
