Thanksgiving is a cherished holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada, focused on giving thanks for the harvest and blessings of the past year. It originated as a harvest festival, with the first American Thanksgiving dating back to 1621 when Pilgrims and Native Americans shared a feast. Today, it is marked by family gatherings, festive meals, and expressions of gratitude. The traditional meal includes turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Beyond the food, Thanksgiving fosters a sense of togetherness, reflection, and appreciation for loved ones, making it a time for reconnecting and celebrating life’s blessings.
