About the National Day of Thanksgiving in the United States
Family & Friends , United States
Ends: Nov 23, 2023
DESCRIPTION:
Thanksgiving in the United States falls on the fourth Thursday of November, and it is a national holiday, often spreading over the entire weekend.
Thanksgiving celebrations occur in most American households, where the focus is a large feast shared with friends and family. Roast turkey is the usual meat dish, served with mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce.
For Americans without friends or family to feast with, volunteering at local soup kitchens or hosting free dinners for the homeless is a common activity. In New York City, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is held annually and is usually played in the background as the meal is prepared. The President of the United States pardons a turkey, assuring that the turkey can freely roam farmland for the rest of its life.
Thanksgiving in the United States was first proclaimed in 1789 by George Washington.
Yet it would wait until 1863 to be a national holiday. At the time, President Lincoln decreed it to bring people together during the Civil War. Thanksgiving commemorates the harvest feast, which occurred over three days in October 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts, between the Native Americans and pilgrim settlers. Without the help of Native Americans, the pilgrims would not have survived their first winter.
In 1939, President Roosevelt fixed Thanksgiving Day as the fourth Thursday in November.
