Thanksgiving
One day is there of the series
Termed Thanksgiving day,
Celebrated part at table,
Part in memory.
E. Dickinson
Every year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate a purely American holiday called Thanksgiving Day. This is a day for family reunions. American families meet for a special dinner, usually with turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin and pies. They give thanks to God for the past year, and remember the first harvest of the first English settlers of the Plymouth colony in 1621.
