Thanksgiving Day is a United States holiday on which families gather for a large meal to give thanks for the harvest and the blessings of the past year. The traditional menu centres on roast turkey, with stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie. Many people travel long distances to be together, which makes the days around it among the busiest travel days of the American year. Football games, parades and the custom of saying what each person is thankful for are part of the day.
The day is associated with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City, which began in 1924, with televised American football, and with the presidential pardon of a turkey. The Friday after, Black Friday, is the start of the Christmas shopping season and a day off for many workers, though it is not a federal holiday. Other places keep their own thanksgivings: Canada on the second Monday of October, Saint Lucia on the first Monday of October, Liberia on the first Thursday of November, and Grenada on 25 October, which marks the 1983 US-led intervention.
