An instance of USThanksgivingDay is a USHoliday celebrated yearly on the fourth Thursday of November. The holiday commemorates the feasts of Thanksgiving instituted by early English settlers in the New World, most notably the 1621 Thanksgiving at Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. In the UniteStates, USThanksgivingDay traditionally is the one national holiday for which entire families strive to come together, with members often traveling great distances. Note that Canada celebrates its own Thanksgiving, on the second Monday of October, with tradition, significance, and foods that parallel the UnitedStates version.
