Thanksgiving Day 感恩节

Dean

Thanksgiving in 2008 is on Thursday, the 27th of November. Thanksgiving Day finds its roots in America. It is celebrated with lot of fervor(热情) and euphoria（欢快） on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. For the people in US Thanksgiving is a time for merrymaking, shopping, family reunion, feasts and family dinners. People also take time to thank God for his constant grace and for all the material possessions man enjoys. For many Thanksgiving is also the time to thank near and dear ones and being grateful for their kindness.
Thanksgiving Day in Canada is, however, celebrated on the second Monday in the month of October every year. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving Day a month earlier because autumn season starts early in Canada than in America.
