Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated mainly in North America. In the beginning, it’s traditionally a day for people to express thankfulness for the good harvest and to give thanks to God. It used to be a religious holiday but now it has become a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals.
To guarantee a successful Thanksgiving, many families start to make preparations early in November. Some people make impressive indoor thanksgiving decorations by adding some natural elements, such as leaves, flowers, and wheat. And this makes the holiday of thanks even more special.
The most important part of the celebration is the dinner which contains a turkey served with cranberry sauce, and pumpkin. Families usually get together and have a lot of fun. That’s why the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is regarded as one of the busiest travel periods of the year. Students are given a four-day or five-day weekend vacation. Thanksgiving is also a paid holiday for most workers.
