Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I SAW THAT!Greg Bernhardt said:Even the PF turkey has come out to say hi!
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 by the Pilgrims and Native Americans to give thanks for a successful harvest. It was not until 1863, during the Civil War, that Thanksgiving became a national holiday in the United States.
Thanksgiving is celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessings of the year, including the harvest, family, and friends. It is also a time to gather with loved ones and enjoy a feast together.
Some traditional Thanksgiving foods include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. However, many families have their own unique dishes that they incorporate into their Thanksgiving meal.
Some popular Thanksgiving traditions include watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, playing football, and going around the table to share what each person is thankful for. Many families also volunteer or donate to those in need during this holiday.
Thanksgiving is primarily celebrated in the United States and Canada. However, similar harvest festivals and days of giving thanks are celebrated in other countries such as Germany (Erntedankfest) and Japan (Labor Thanksgiving Day).
