Answer 1

Thanksgiving Day，which was created by Americans, was aimed at giving thanks to Indians, the local people in America, who helped the European settlers go through the hard days at the very beginning.

Now Thanksgiving Day is mainly celebrated in America and Canada. In America , it falls on the fouth Thursday in November, but in Canada, it is celebrated in second Monday of October.

On this special day, people have two days off and all family members get together to enjoy time with their family. It is a tradition to eat turkey on that day.

Nowadays, people show gratitude to parents, friends or anyone who is helpful by greeting each other. The theme of Thanksgiving Day has added even more meanings, which will become more and more popular.
