Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is coming. It's a traditional North American holiday, and is a form of harvest festival. In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving day. Thanksgiving was about the pilgrims, the first settlers in America. They shared the first harvest with the Indians and gave thanks.
