Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a public holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789,

 after Congress requested a proclamation by George Washington. It has been celebrated as a federal holiday every year since 1863,

 The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by

 the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621. This feast lasted three days,

and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims.

The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating "thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings .

Thanksgiving is a date to be with the family. Thanksgiving in New York is synonymous with parade, and tasty dinner and of course your favorite wine!

At dinner the most traditional dish is the roasted turkey

or baked. It is filled and accompanied with other tasty things.

  like the cornbread, the cranberry sauce, the green beans, the mashed gravy (which is a sauce made from the juice of the turkey)

  and some other depending on the area.

  The dessert is the pumpkin pie, although it is also common to prepare the apple pie.
