THANKSGIVING


I was just watching a video on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faUYJ9fMiGg) and it talks about the story of Thanksgiving. I thought you might be interested in this topic because Thanksgiving is celebrated right now in the U.S.


Basically what it says is how Thanksgiving is celebrated and how the holiday was born.
Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans gather for a day of feasting, football and family. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would likely be unrecognizable to attendees of the original 1621 harvest meal, it continues to be a day for Americans to come together around the table.

Thanksgiving Day, is a national holiday in the United States and Canada and is celebrating blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modelled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The American holiday is particularly rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. This important holiday is often the busiest of the year, and all the family members come together and celebrate.


The first day after Thanksgiving in the United Stated is referred to as Black Friday.

Black Friday is generally perceived to be one of the largest major U.S. holiday shopping days for the retail industry, and is the day that most retailers become profitable for the year. Black Friday is more associated with retail stores than online stores.
