Thanksgiving Day, one of the United States' most celebrated holidays, is here (November 28, 2024). Celebrated annually on the fourth Thursday of November, this day is dedicated to the harvest and other blessings of the past year. The day, associated with fun, food, and football, is mostly celebrated in the United States and Canada. On Thanksgiving Day, traditionally, the farmers thanked God for their autumn harvest.
The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who guided the nation through the Civil War, originally declared Thanksgiving a holiday and a day off for employees in 1863. Christmas shopping also starts on Thanksgiving Day, which comes before Black Friday.
Families and friends gather for a meal and play games and have fun on Thanksgiving Day. Pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, potatoes, stuffing, and roast turkey are all staples. Families spend time together while playing a game or watching football. But some may also remember lining up to score Black Friday deals and discounts on Thanksgiving evening.
