Originating as a harvest festival in the 17th century, often linked to a 1621 feast shared between Pilgrims and Native Americans in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated as a national holiday in the US on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving traditions center around a festive meal, with turkey as the classic centerpiece, often accompanied by stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. The meal is a focal point of the holiday, with food preparations often beginning days in advance and culminating in a large gathering of family and friends on Thanksgiving Day.
Many people also enjoy watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a lively New York City tradition since 1924, filled with giant balloons, floats, and performances. Some families and friends have developed special gifting traditions around the holiday to show gratitude and appreciation on Thanksgiving Day. Many people love receiving a jar of homemade jam, apple butter, or honey. These can also be paired with a loaf of fresh bread or crackers. Baked goods like cookies, and a loaf of fresh bread can also serve as additions to the Thanksgiving meal or enjoyed later.
