Thanksgiving
is an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada, celebrating last
year's harvest and other blessings. Thanksgiving in the United States is observing
on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, it is celebrated about a month
and a half ago (the second Monday in October). Thanksgiving, on the other hand,
is deeply rooted in the religious tradition, which is now celebrated primarily
as a secular holiday.
