Learn more about the History of Thanksgiving day:

Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. In 1621, after a very tough first year in their new land, the Pilgrim's first harvest of crops was successful and plentiful. They found that they had enough food to store for the winter season. To celebrate and show their gratitude they had a large meal. This element continues in modern times with the Thanksgiving dinner. Eating plays a large role in the celebration of Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day, families and friends usually gather for a large meal including turkey. The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. In the United States, Thanksgiving is a four or five-day weekend vacation in school and college calendars. Major American cities have parades, the most famous being New York's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. American football is also a major part of Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States. Professional games are traditionally played on Thanksgiving Day.
