Thanksgiving Day (Thanksgiving Day), a traditional Western holiday, is a holiday created uniquely by the people of the United States, but also a holiday for Americans to get together as a family. In the beginning, Thanksgiving Day had no fixed date, and was decided by the states of the United States on an ad hoc basis. It was not until 1863, after the independence of the United States, that President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday.

In 1941, the U.S. Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day. The Thanksgiving holiday usually lasts from Thursday to Sunday.

Thanksgiving Day, in terms of its meaning and the way it is celebrated, has changed very little since 1621. On this day, churches of all denominations are open to give thanks to God for his generous gifts.

Thanksgiving is a family holiday, and all over the country, husbands and wives, children and old people, from city to town, from town to township, from township to village, return to their hometowns*** for the holiday. Those who can't go home also make long-distance phone calls to talk to their parents and family members and share what they are thankful for. The Thanksgiving meal is practically the same throughout the country. The table is always filled with a variety of delicious foods. Naturally the main thing is the turkey. Pumpkin pie is eaten to remind everyone that the Indians gave such a gift to the first settlers back in the day.

In most families, after the meal, traditional games are played. Thanksgiving is an enjoyable celebration, a day of family reunion and a time to renew friendships. On that day, even bachelors are always invited to other people's homes to share the joy of thanksgiving with everyone and to give thanks for God's goodness. This is what Thanksgiving is all about.
