i dunno - in the US Thanksgiving is a holiday to celebrate a truce between native Indians and the first English settlers who in reality were religious kooks called the Pilgrims. In Canada Thanksgiving is a celebration that the fall harvest season is over.

traditional Thanksgiving dinner is turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie etc

it's a big holiday for college kids who are away from home - usually their first trip home since leaving home in august/sept for college. in many families it is one of the few holidays where people travel from all over to get together.

these days it's really become the official start of the Christmas shopping season.
