The fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is an ancient holiday created by the American people, and it is also a time for families to gather together. Therefore, Americans always feel a sense of closeness when they talk about Thanksgiving.
　　The most authentic and typically American holiday (holiday) among the national holidays in the United States is closely related to the early American history.
　　In 1620, some pilgrims traveled on the ship "Mayflower" to the United States to seek religious freedom. After two months of rough seas, they finally landed in the cold November in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.
　　In the first winter, more than half of the immigrants died from hunger and diseases. The survivors began planting in the spring of 1621. They eagerly looked forward to the harvest throughout the summer, knowing that their survival and the existence of the colony would depend on the coming harvest. Finally, the crops had an unexpected bountiful harvest. To thank God for the harvest, they held a three-day celebration. From then on, this custom continued and gradually became popular throughout the country. In 1863, President Lincoln declared the fourth Thursday of November each year as Thanksgiving Day. The celebration of Thanksgiving has been fixed on this day until today. At that time, families reunite and the whole nation celebrates, with a grand and enthusiastic scene that is not inferior to the Chinese Spring Festival.
　　The mode of Thanksgiving celebrations has remained unchanged for many years. A lavish family meal begins preparation several months in advance. People can eat apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts, grapes, raisin pudding, meat pies, various other foods, cranberry sauce, and fresh juice at the dining table. The most delicious and attractive main course is roast turkey and pumpkin pie, which have always been the most traditional and popular foods (food) on Thanksgiving.
　　 Everyone agrees that the Thanksgiving feast must be centered around roast turkey. When roasting the turkey, bread stuffing is used to absorb the delicious juices that flow out of it, but cooking techniques often vary from family to family and region to region, so there is no consensus on what stuffing to use.

Additionally, Canada's Thanksgiving Day is on the second Monday of October.
