Thanksgiving, the fourth Thursday of November, is a day of giving thanks for the harvest and the year, kept with a family meal - turkey, stuffing, cranberries and pumpkin pie. It recalls the harvest feast the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony shared with the Wampanoag in 1621.

Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863, and since 1941 it has been the fourth Thursday.
