    Talk turkey on Thanksgiving Day
    [ 2009-11-24 13:19 ]

     

     

    Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States. Whilst perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

    Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.
