Thanksgiving Day, a holiday in the United States and Canada, was first created by the United States. Its original intention was to thank the Indians. Later, people often used this day to thank others. Since 1941, Thanksgiving has been on the fourth Thursday of November every year. From this day on, people will take two days off to reunite with their families. Thanksgiving is between November 22-28 every year. It is the most authentic and American of the national holidays in the United States. Thanksgiving in Canada began in 1879 and is held on the second Monday of October every year.

At first, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving, which was decided temporarily by each state. It was not until 1863, after American independence, that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.

The last Thursday in November is Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is an ancient holiday created by the American people. It is also a holiday for American families to get together. Therefore, Americans always feel warm when mentioning Thanksgiving.

The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history. In 1620, the famous "Mayflower" ship arrived in America, carrying 102 Puritans who could not endure the religious persecution in Britain. In the winter between 1620 and 1621, they encountered unimaginable difficulties and were suffering from hunger and cold. When the winter passed, there were only about 50 immigrants who survived. At this time, the kind-hearted Indians brought daily necessities to the immigrants, and specially sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish, and grow corn and pumpkins. With the help of the Indians, the immigrants finally got a good harvest. On the day of celebrating the harvest, according to religious traditions and customs, the immigrants set a day to thank God, and decided to thank the Indians for their sincere help and invite them to celebrate the festival together.

On the day of the first Thanksgiving, Indians and immigrants gathered together. They fired salutes at dawn, lined up into a house used as a church, and expressed their gratitude to God devoutly. Then a bonfire was lit and a grand banquet was held. On the second and third days, wrestling, racing, singing, dancing and other activities were held. The first Thanksgiving was a huge success. Many of these celebration methods have been passed down for more than 300 years and have been preserved to this day.
