Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving
Day is an annual national holiday observed in the United States and Canada to
commemorate the harvest and other benefits of the previous year. And beside
these countries, there are many nations, which celebrated Thanksgiving Day on
24th November. Americans usually think that Thanksgiving is based on
a harvest feast shared by English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the
Wampanoag people around 1621. The Old colonists and the Pilgrims
celebrated a fall harvest feast in 1621, which is regarded as one of the first
Thanksgiving celebrations in the provinces. Individual colonies and states have
observed days of gratitude for over two centuries.
Thanksgiving
is not commonly observed in Spanish-speaking nations, but it's
the festive of family, food, togetherness, and thankfulness are
generally appreciated! The day is the traditional celebration of feasting and
thankfulness, which is known as "El Dia de Acción de Gracias" in
Spanish. In Spain, the cuisine of the holiday is similar to gathering people at
a place, and these Spanish Thanksgiving delights have no exception. On
Thanksgiving Day, several cafés in Spain provide a Thanksgiving "Menu del
Da" (Menu of the Day) with three dishes, beverages, and a dessert for a
decent price.

Lucia, and Liberia on various dates. It originated as a day of thanksgiving for
the blessings of the harvest and the previous year. Festival holidays with
similar names may be found in Germany and Japan. Giving a presentation is also
