A brief history – Un po’ di storia
The United States celebrates Thanksgiving on every 4th Thursday in November. In Canada, it’s always celebrated on the 2nd Monday in October. It’s a time to be thankful for all that people have.
The tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving was started by Native American Indians and the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims travelled from England to Holland, and then to America to escape persecution and find religious freedom.
The Native American Indians gave the Pilgrims food and taught them how to survive in their new home. They soon became allies and later signed a peace treaty. The Pilgrims learnt how to grow corn and how to hunt.
To celebrate the excellent harvest and new relationships, the governor of the new colony invited the Native Americans for a large feast.

Nowadays – Oggigiorno
In modern times, ’Turkey Day’ (an informal name for Thanksgiving), is a special holiday for both Americans and Canadians. Although there are slight differences, the two countries agree that roast turkey is the symbol of this holiday dinner. For Americans, no Thanksgiving meal would be complete without corn on the cob, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, yams, cranberry sauce and of course the famous pumpkin pie.
NYC holds an annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with floats and balloons.
Thanksgiving traditions vary depending on the region, but playing backyard football on Turkey Day with family and friends has been a tradition across the country since the 19th century._________
