Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in America, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It began as a way to give thanks for a good harvest. Families and friends gather to enjoy a big meal, often including turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. People also watch parades and football games. It’s a day to feel grateful for what we have and to spend time with loved ones. Many also help others by giving food to those in need. Thanksgiving reminds everyone to appreciate life’s blessings.
