- '''Thanksgiving Day''' is an autumn harvest festival and celebration of gratitude. In the U.S. it's a holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving too, but on the second Monday of October. Harvest festivals naturally are centered around food, which typically is a large meal eaten in the late afternoon. In the U.S. this traditionally includes a large roast ["Turkeys" turkey] (perhaps purchased at ["Branigan's Turkey Farm"]) or ["Vegetarian Options" vegetarian] substitute (sometimes Tofurkey, but usually other dishes) with stuffing, ham, candied yams or sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes with gravy, squash, green beans, cornbread, cranberry sauce, and regional items. Dessert is often a pie (pumpkin, apple, or pecan).	+ '''Thanksgiving Day''' is an autumn harvest festival and celebration of gratitude.
