Thanksgiving (also called Turkey Day) is a seasonal holiday held annually to give thanks to God for successful harvests. In the USA the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October because the harvest there generally ends earlier.

Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast among family and friends. Not only adults but children take part in the food preparation.

Traditional foods are turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. After the feast people often do some other activities. Some like to go for a walk. Some take naps. Others play board or card games together. A lot of people take this opportunity to help the less fortunate. They volunteer to cook and serve food to homeless people, spend time with sick people in hospitals or help a needy family.
