Thanksgiving is a national holiday which is celebrated for the most part in the United States and Canada. In Canada, Thanksgiving takes place on the second Monday of October whereas in the United States it is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. This holiday is seen as day to give thanks for the harvest from the previous year.
Some traditions are: making cranberry sauce, pulling on the wishbone from the turkey (it is said to be good luck to get the biggest part), some typical Thanksgiving vegetable dishes include sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes or corn on the cob. For dessert, many families make pumpkin pie. In many cities there are Thanksgiving parades
On that day families have a big meal. They remember the first Thanksgiving in 1621. The Pilgrims sailed in a ship called "Mayflower" from England to the USA.
At the beginning this celebration was a harvest festival and the Pilgrims thanked goddess for the bounty. The first president that established a national day of Thanksgiving the 4th Thursday of each November was Abraham Lincoln.
Everybody has got 4 days of holidays. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It is the beginning of Christmas shopping. As there are lots of people buying in the streets, and many drive cars in the cities, there are lots of accidents and the shops have lots of nervous customers.
