Fourth Thursday in November. It is a federal holiday.
It is a major holiday
and technically the longest paid vacation most people get. Many
companies give the Friday after Thanksgiving off. If not, most employees
will take a day of vacation that Friday. When you combine that with the
weekend, it is four days off. Schools are generally closed during those days.
People typically
reunite with their families during holiday. Thanksgiving dinner is a large
production. Dinner primarily consists of turkey with stuffing, corn, cranberry
sauce, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie.
Thanksgiving
celebration started when the Pilgrims (early settlers) to Massachusetts
survived the harsh winter in 1621 with the help of Native Americans (called
Indians) who helped them learn how to catch eel and grow corn.
Most stores
and businesses are closed on #Thanksgiving Day. However, the day after
Thanksgiving is called Black Friday, during which the biggest sales of the year
occur. It is also the official start of the Christmas shopping season.
