Thanksgiving Day in America is celebrated with lot of fervor and euphoria on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. For the people in the United States, Thanksgiving is a time for intense feelings of happiness, excitement, love, gratitude, and expressions of those feelings with people they love. It is also a time for shopping, family reunion, feasts and family dinners. People also take time to thank God for His constant grace and for all the material possessions man enjoys. For many, Thanksgiving is also the time to thank near and dear ones and being grateful for their kindness. Thanksgiving Celeis a time for communal thanksgiving, feeling gratitude and having lavish feasts. It is a time to remember the pilgrims. The original pilgrims celebrated the autumn harvest with a feast of thanks. The feast popularly known as the 'First Thanksgiving Day Feast' was held as a gesture of thanks to almighty God. It was celebrated in the year 1621. After the United States gained independence from England in 1776, Congress recommended a yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate.

Celebrating the day in America with lavish meals and the gathering of family and friends, the day was originally thought to be one of Thanksgiving that the pilgrims shared with Native Americans. If it were not for the Native Americans teaching the pilgrims how to plant crops and cook in the strange land, the pilgrims could not have survived. It is a celebration to mark the respect towards the Native Indians and give a tribute, but it is mostly a gesture of thanks and gratitude to the Lord Almighty for His blessings. It epitomizes the holiday mood of people. Christmas shopping also begins the day after Thanksgiving with the biggest, busiest day for retailers, known as Black Friday. In America, traditionally the holiday is a day set aside for giving thanks, having a relaxed meal with family and friends which includes turkey, stuffing, vegetables, cranberry sauce and ends with desserts like traditional pumpkin pie and pecan pie, then watching sports on television while visiting. It is an annual event where most stores allow their workers to have the day off to be with their families. Thanksgiving gives Americans a chance to share with others and most Americans truly enjoy the day and the harvest season celebration.
