AMERICAN HISTORY

W hen is Thanksgiving day 2017? In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, so this year will be on November 23. I t is usually followed by a crazy day of  bagging bargains with Black Friday  following the day after. The USA isn't the only nation to mark celebrations - Canada, Puerto Rico, Grenada and Liberia do so too. In Canada, the national holiday takes place on the second Monday of October. The occasion is very similar to Britain's Harvest Day - but on a much larger scale Thanksgiving is a public holiday, originating as the harvest festival. It is now celebrated every year and, along with Christmas and New Year, is part of the broader holiday season. The story goes that back in 1620 Pilgrims landed on American soil and settled in an area they named Plymouth just south of where Boston is today. Google Ping
