Ready to feast?. Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving, a festivity to express gratitude for the harvest season and the blessings of the past, has its roots traced back to the English sailor Sir Martin Frobisher, who was thankful for surviving a dangerous journey in search of the Northwest Passage in 1578. The most exciting part of the celebration is the Thanksgiving dinner. Families gather to have a festive meal that includes roasted turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, maple syrup, sweet potatoes, and so much more. While celebrating together, they also reflect on the importance of thankfulness and embrace the fall season with its vibrant foliage.
