Its origins date back to 1621, when pilgrims and Native Americans shared a feast to give thanks for a bountiful harvest.
Today, Thanksgiving brings families and friends together around a table to enjoy a traditional meal featuring turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. It is a time to reflect on blessings and express gratitude.
Additionally, the day marks the start of the holiday season with parades, football games, and special sales.
