Some American holiday celebrating the end of the harvest season.

Happy Turkey Day

We stole it from UK. The early white settlers brought that tridition with them and we just adopted it as a national holiday.

how come we dont eat turkey in the UK apart from on christmnas then?

For those of you who feel like giving thanks, this is the day to do it! Merry Harvest Feast!

I hope everyone had a nice thanksgiving

Don't know, but we eat turke year-around. Not every day or as often as chicken, but its popular all the time. And its healthy too, much better you than artery-cloging fish & chips or hamburgers & fries

Has anyone else heard of this?

The first Thanksgiving wasn't with the pilgrims and indians but with Spain and the indians? It was years and years before the pilgrims and indians.

When most Americans think of the first Thanksgiving, they think of the Pilgrims and the Indians in New England in 1621. But 56 years before they celebrated, Spanish explorer Pedro Men??ndez arrived on the coast of Florida and founded the first North American city, St. Augustine. On September 8, 1565, the Spanish and the native Timucua celebrated with a feast of Thanksgiving. The Spanish most likely offered cocido, a rich stew made with pork, and the Timucua may have brought wild turkey, venison, or even alligator, along with corn, beans, and squash. Learn about our real first Thanksgiving. Learn about Spain and Florida in the 1560s. And make your own cocido from a recipe provided in this important and groundbreaking book.
