Thanksgiving is celebrated every year, on the last Thursday of November and is a national holiday in the US, Canada, Saint Lucia and Grenada. It is known as the day of “thanks for the blessings of the harvest and of the preceding year”.
The holiday is known for its turkey, pumpkin pie, turkey stuffing with onions and celery, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn, dinner rolls and cranberry sauce.
