Celebrate Thanksgiving by supporting your loved ones this year!

What is Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States that traditionally commemorates a good harvest and signifies the passing of another year. It also allows Americans all over the country to show appreciation and share what they are most grateful for.

How did Thanksgiving originate?

Americans generally acknowledge the origin of Thanksgiving as the feast shared by the English colonists of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people native to the land.

Since then, this event has come to symbolize unity for the American people. It encourages citizens to put aside their differences, develop a greater understanding of one another and practice acceptance for all races, creeds, and cultures.

How do American’s celebrate Thanksgiving?

The staple of an American Thanksgiving is the traditional meal. For many Americans, the spread typically consists of turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.

 

This year, Thanksgiving Day falls on Thursday, November 25th. With the day fast approaching, many Americans are looking forward to enjoying some quality time with their loved ones while sharing what they are most thankful for.
