Thanksgiving is one of the biggest holidays for the North American people! Celebrated the 4^th Thursday of November, and then we have Black Friday, but that is inconsequential for this article haha. Many of us might not be in the States and might not know what is celebrated in this holiday, so what is the story behind it? Well, Thanksgiving comes from the colonial Pilgrim’s harvest meal, but nowadays, it is more for the North American families to get together, feast, and be grateful, so it tends to be highly dramatic and highly emotional for many people!
