Thanksgiving Day is celebrated with a lot of joy and enthusiasm not only in US, Canada but other countries as well. It symbolises the feeling of gratitude, people's feeling towards God for bestowing His constant grace and love. More commonly it is celebrated to thank God for the bounty of autumn harvest.
The official thanksgiving day in USA is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November every year. People of Canada celebrate Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October every year. It is generally a "four-day" weekend in the United States.
Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with the customary 'feast' shared among friends and family. The traditional Turkey is the most important dish cooked in every house as part of the feast. Pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and corn dishes also form a part of the family dinner. American football and parade is a yearly feature to mark the celebration of thanksgiving.
In a nutshell, Thanksgiving is all about loving, caring, sharing and communal harmony. It is all about being grateful to not only God but also your fellowmen. It is also about reaping the benefits of the year long hard work and struggle.
