Thanksgiving Day is a holiday in the United States which is always celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been considered a federal holiday ever since 1863. It was President Abraham Lincoln while during the Civil War officially claimed it a national holiday of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens”. It is one of the biggest celebrated days and kicks off the rest of the holiday season for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
The "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in 1621 after they left from Plymouth, England. The commemorative steps are a landmark for tourists that still exist in Plymouth today. According to records the first feast lasted for three days and was shared with 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. It was customary for these New England colonists on a regular basis by thanking God for blessings in prayer.
Today traditionally households prepare a feast at their table consisting of turkey, cranberries, dressing and pumpkin pie for dessert. Family and friends gather for the special day and it is a time to catch up with each other. Thanksgiving is followed Black Friday that brings out all the bargain hunters for Christmas sales.
