Thanksgiving is an internationally recognised national holiday celebrated every year on different dates, in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Liberia. It began as a commemoration of thanksgiving for the blessings of the previous year and of the growing harvest. Likewise referred to as thanksgiving holiday holidays, such holiday festivities occur in Japan and Germany. In the UK, Canada and the United States, Thanksgiving is considered to be a religious holiday. In some areas, schools observe Thanksgiving for different reasons. Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks to God. Thanksgiving celebrates the fourth Thursday of November, the first full week of the year after Christmas and New Year's Day. Thanksgiving is traditionally a time of sharing thanksgiving cards are sent to friends and family. The fourth Thursday of Thanksgiving, also known as thanksgiving day, is when settlers brought the Pilgrims to the United States. Thanksgiving is also a time to celebrate the heritage of the settlers in America. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to bring family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and acquaintances close to your house and share the spirit of thanksgiving with them. Thanksgiving traditions have changed over the years but the spirit behind it still remains the same. Thanksgiving has a long and rich history and traces of it can be found throughout the written history of America. Thanksgiving is the favorite national holiday of most of the United States' ethnic groups. Thanksgiving has deep roots in many cultures around the country which is why there is such a big celebration in different areas of the country. When settlers made their way into the United States after the French and English had introduced what was called the English Summerhouses, the spirit of Thanksgiving was soon to follow. Thanksgiving, along with New England, became the first major agricultural region in what is now the great American nation. The newcomers brought with them a love of eating outdoors and cooking with family, neighbors and the in open air grills that provided the most comfort and enjoyment to them and their guests. A lot of the early Thanksgiving traditions we observe today got started here in the northeast part of the country where the bulk of the population gathered around these open fires. Thanksgiving is one of the three Thanksgiving feasts that are now considered traditional on this day. The others are the Christmas dinner and the St. Patrick's Day dinner. Thanksgiving is now celebrated in every state in the nation except in New Mexico and Hawaii. Wherever the Thanksgiving holiday is celebrated, people dress in Thanksgiving apparel, eat Thanksgiving meals and enjoy Thanksgiving games and activities. There is evidence that Thanksgiving was first offered by Europeans as a European festival around the tenth century before the Pilgrims arrived in America. Before the settlers arrived, Europeans had celebrated harvest feasts in many countries including Ireland, Scotland and Scandinavia. The Irish celebrate All Saints' Day and the British celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Both are associated with the celebration of the first Thanksgiving or more commonly known as the Great Thanksgiving.
