Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving day, "presently celebrated on
the fourth Thursday in November, has been an annual tradition in the
United States since 1863. It did not become a federal holiday until
1941. Thanksgiving was historically a religious observation to give
thanks to God, but it is now considered a secular holiday as well.
Most people celebrate by gathering at home with family or friends
for a holiday feast. Though the holiday's origins can be traced to
harvest festivals which have been celebrated in many cultures since
ancient times, the American holiday is tied to the deliverance of
the English settlers by Native Americans after the harsh winter at
Plymouth, Massachusetts and that event has become the pre-eminent
foundation story for English North America. "
