We celebrate Thanksgiving Day to give thanks for the blessings of the past year, including the harvest and the abundance of food. This tradition has its roots in the early 17th century when the Pilgrims and Native Americans came together for a feast to express gratitude for a successful harvest. Over time, Thanksgiving has evolved into a national holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It’s a time for families and friends to come together, share a meal, and reflect on the things they are thankful for, fostering a sense of gratitude and unity.
