According to Tanya Ballard from Brown, “Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States that gathers families to celebrate gratitude. It was traditionally held on the fourth Thursday of November in the U.S., it is a day when families gather to appreciate the blessings of the past year. Schools, communities, and cities join in with activities that highlight thankfulness and unity.”
According to Bruce David from Forbes, “one of the most recognizable parts of Thanksgiving is the dinner table, filled with dishes that have been passed down through generations. The centerpiece is usually a roasted turkey, served with stuffing made from bread, herbs, and vegetables. Families also enjoy mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and freshly baked bread. And lastly a classic desserts such as pumpkin pie and apple pie are shared among everyone.”
