Thanksgiving this year falls on November 22nd, as always in the fourth Thursday of the month, all across the USA and Canada, preceding Black Friday, one of the busiest shopping days in America.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an Autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
