Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE UNITED STATES


Thanksgiving Day in the United States is a holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. It precedes Black Friday.


WHAT DO PEOPLE DO?
Thanksgiving is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.


Thanksgiving Day parades are held in some cities and towns on or around Thanksgiving Day. Some parades or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Some people have a four day weekend so it is a popular time for trips and to visit family and friends.


The first thanksgiving was held in the autumn of 1621.
Thanksgiving didn't become a national holiday until over 200 years later.
