Thanksgiving
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving>
Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day (Action de grce in French),is an annual
one-day holiday to give thanks (traditionally to God) at the close of the
harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the
fourth Thursday of November. In Canada, it is celebrated on the second
Monday in October. In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for
the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant
Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of
as a major event (compared to Christmas or Easter) as it is in other parts
of the world. This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers,
where it became much more important.

The Pilgrims' 1621 Thanksgiving
<http://members.aol.com/calebj/thanksgiving.html>
"The tradition of the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving is steeped in myth and
legend. Few people realize that the Pilgrims did not celebrate
Thanksgiving the next year, or any year thereafter, though some of their
descendants later made a "Forefather's Day" that usually occurred on
December 21 or 22. Several Presidents, including George Washington, made
one-time Thanksgiving holidays. In 1827, Mrs. Sarah Josepha Hale began
lobbying several Presidents for the instatement of Thanksgiving as a
national holiday, but her lobbying was unsuccessful until 1863 when
Abraham Lincoln finally made it a national holiday with his 1863
Thanksgiving Proclamation."

Thanksgiving Traditions in the United States
<http://www.thanksgiving.org/2us.html>
How Thanksgiving Works
by Allison Klein
How Stuff Works
<http://people.howstuffworks.com/thanksgiving.htm>
Thanksgiving stands out in the holiday season because it is open to just
about everybody. It isn't tied to any specific religion, and you can
pretty much celebrate it however you want. The only essential traditions
are to enjoy a meal with friends or family and to give thanks for what you
have. In the world of holidays, Thanksgiving is about as simple and pure
as it gets.
The holiday also honors American history, of course. In countless
Thanksgiving plays, American children have told the story of the first
Thanksgiving when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans celebrated the
autumn harvest in cooperation and acceptance.
