Thanksgiving is an American holiday. It is traditionally celebrated with a feast of roast turkey, stuffing or dressing, mash potatoes, candied yams, corn on the cob, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, pickle tray, and pumpkin pie. It started as a ritual of giving thanks to God for all He provided. It has become a secular family holiday as well.

Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, the last full week of November. Most Americans are off work or school for Thanksgiving and the day after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday.

The turkey is a bird native only in the Americas. Corn on the cob (maize) is also native only in the American Continents. The same is true of yams (sweet potatoes) and pumpkins. All of these vegetables were cultivated to some degree by American Indians before the arrival of the American colonists. American Indians and colonists were friends for awhile, and they had Thanksgiving feasts together. They probably solved mazes inside by the fire in winter.http://www.manataka.org/page269.html
