Thanksgiving is an American holiday (as well as other countries) where we, naturally, give thanks for our family, friends, etc. It is always on the fourth Thursday in November. It originally celebrated a good harvest, which explains why it is in the end of fall. Now it also signifies the beginning of the ‘holiday season’, which includes Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, and probably a whole bunch I can’t think of.

Most Americans that celebrate Thanksgiving have a roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans with fried onions, pumpkin pie – my mouth is watering just thinking about it! It’s my favorite holiday, mainly because I’m a big foodie, but also because it seems to be the most easy-going holiday, where families spend most of the time hanging out with each other talking – and cooking, and watching football games. What more could you want?
