Thanksgiving is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November each year. Rooted in a 1621 harvest feast shared by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people, it has grown into a day of gratitude, family gatherings, and shared meals — often featuring turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. Beyond the food, it’s a time to reflect on blessings, connect with loved ones, and practice thankfulness.
