Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a very well-known particularly American and Canadian holiday. The day is basically related with family reunion, watching American football, and having tons of food. It doesn’t have a specific date, as it is celebrated the second Monday of November in Canada, and the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

It is based on old English tradition when families thanked God after the Harvest. In America, as I mentioned before, it is celebrated the fourth Thursday of November, although the real harvest time was way earlier. It was normally celebrated by English protestant believers, but it was also celebrated by catholic people. It’s a tradition here to, in thanksgiving dinner, eat a turkey, have a lot of beer, and spend the day with the family watching American Football, and it has become such a big tradition in America that even atheist families celebrate it as a family reunion.
