After the first harvest was completed by the Plymouth colonists in 1621, Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and prayer, shared by all the colonists and neighboring Native Americans. The Pilgrims of Plymouth Rock held their Thanksgiving in 1621 as a three day "thank you" celebration to the leaders of the Wampanoag Indian tribe and their families for teaching them the survival skills they needed to make it in the New World.

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November.  While Thanksgiving itself is a single day, the holiday always includes the following Friday, making for a four-day weekend.  \n\nThe holiday originated, according to legend, with the settlers of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1620s.  Their first winter was terribly hard, and they suffered greatly due to ignorance of the climate, soil and local growing and hunting conditions.  According to the myth, they made friends with the local native American tribes, who taught them how to recognize local fruits, vegetables and game, including pumpkins, maize, cranberries, and turkey.\n\nAt the end of the next harvest, the colonists proclaimed a great feast of thanksgiving and honored the native American tribes that had helped them survive the previous winter.  It is still celebrated as a day to give thanks for the good things that have happened during the preceding year.\n\nIn practice, Thanksgiving is a huge feast including a number of foods native to North America -- roast turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and others.  This feast is always eaten on Thursday, though the leftovers can last, depending on the size of the household, for weeks.  \n\nIn recent years, Thanksgiving has also marked the start, in earnest, of the Christmas merchandising season.  The Macy's department store has, since the 1930s, sponsored a Thanksgiving Day parade in New York, with large inflated characters interspersed among marching bands and civic groups.  The Friday after Thanksgiving has become known as "Black Friday" and is typically the single largest retail sales day in the United States.  \n\nIn reaction to what many people see as the overcommercialization of this holiday (not to mention modern life in general), recent years have seen a growth in Buy Nothing Day, a movement to reverse the hype and mania for rabid consumption that Thanksgiving has come to represent (particularly in its "gateway holiday" role as the opening of the Christmas bacchanalia).  Originating in Canada, Buy Nothing day has come to signify a "detox" from the incessant drone of marketing, merchandising and status.  \n\nSpeaking of Canada, there is also a Thanksgiving in Canada, but it's celebrated on the second Monday in October, making for a three-day weekend.  Both the Canadian and the US Thanksgiving days are believed to be derived from the British Harvest Festivals, held at the end of summer since ancient times.\n\nYou can read more in the Wikipedia article I posted below, and also in the Adbusters Web site on Buy Nothing Day.

Thanksgiving this year is tomorrow, Thursday, November 23.  I think it always falls on the last Thursday in November, so the date changes from year to year (like Easter).

Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day when family gather with friends and strangers.  We celebrate what we are thankful for and mostly for the freedom that our forefathers fought so hard for. It is a tradition in my family that after the blessing on the food, everyone gets to say 1 thing they are thankful for and they can't repeat a response that another has already made.  We start with the youngest and move to the oldest. It builds awareness in our family of what we are grateful for.

In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. The origin and history of Thanksgiving Day in Canada is different from the American Thanksgiving. Whereas the American tradition talks about remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest. The geographical location of Canada is further north as compared to the United States therefore the harvest season falls earlier in Canada. \nThere are three traditions behind Canadian Thanksgiving Day:\n\n1. The farmers in Europe held celebrations at the time of harvesting to give thanks for their good fortune of a bountiful harvest and abundance of food. The farmers would fill a goat's curved horn with fruits and grains. This curved horn was known as a cornucopia or the horn of plenty. It is believed that when the European farmers came to Canada they brought this tradition of Thanksgiving with them. \n\n2. The history of Thanksgiving in Canada is related to Martin Frobisher, who was an English navigator. He made a lot of efforts to find a northern passage to the Orient. Though he did not succeed in his efforts but he was able to establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now known as Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Martin Frobisher was later knighted and an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada was named as ' Frobisher Bay' after him. When other settlers arrived here they continued this ceremony of giving thanks. \n\n3. The third influence occurred in 1621 in what is now the United States. Here the pilgrims, who were the English colonists, celebrated their first harvest in the New World at Plymouth Massachusetts. By the 1750s this celebration of harvest was brought to Nova Scotia by American settlers from the south. \n\nIn the 1600s, another navigator Samuel de Champlain crossed the ocean and arrived to Canada. Other French Settlers also came with him and their group held huge feasts of thanks for the harvests. On this event they shared their food with the Native American neighbors and thus involved them in their celebrations. Then they formed ' The Order of Good Cheer' which marked the harvests and other events as well. \n\nAfter the Seven Year's War ended in 1763, the citizens of Halifax held a special day of Thanksgiving. \n\nDuring the American Revolution the Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada. They brought with themselves the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. \n\nIn 1879, the Parliament declared 6th day of November as the day of Thanksgiving and also declared it a national holiday. Over the years different dates were used for celebrating the Thanksgiving Day in Canada but the most popular date was the 3rd Monday of October. \n\nAfter World War I, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day were celebrated on a common day that was Monday of the week in which fell the 11th day of November. Ten years later, in 1931, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day became separate holidays and Armistice Day was renamed as the 'Remembrance Day'. \n\nFinally, on January 31st, 1957, the Parliament issued a proclamation to fix permanently the 2nd Monday in October as the Thanksgiving Day. The Proclamation goes as...

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks (traditionally to God) at the close of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.\n\nThe first known thanksgiving feast or festival in North America was celebrated by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and the people he called "Tejas" (members of the Hasinai group of Caddo-speaking Native Americans) on 23 May 1541 in Palo Duro Canyon, Texas, to celebrate his expedition's discovery of food supplies.[3] In the sense of a feast in gratitude to God celebrated by Europeans in North America, this has a claim to be the true first North American Thanksgiving.\n\nIn the middle of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln, prompted by a series of editorials written by Sarah Josepha Hale, proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day, to be celebrated on the final Thursday in November 1863:

I agree with you 100%.  It is Thanksgiving Day.  That's what it's always been, and should always be.  It's not just about eating a turkey, it's about thanks for all that we have.  Personally, I don't even like turkey; I prefer ham.  But I still wouldn't call it Ham Day.  lol
