Thanksgiving is an American holiday. It falls on the third Thursday in November. That means it comes on different days in different years, just like the Vietnamese New Year. How it was started is not clear but this day is a time for American families to get together. People usually eat turkey, smashed potato and pumpkin pie. This is initially celebrated in America and then in Canada. It is not celebrated in Viet Nam. But I like it a lot because I see on TV how happy people are when they get together and eat Thanksgiving food. So I think it must be a good holiday.
