When is Thanksgiving?
The story behind Thanksgiving
US Thanksgiving traces back to a 1621 harvest feast at Plymouth. Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863, and since 1941 it has been set by law on the fourth Thursday of November. Canada celebrates its own Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October.
How people celebrate Thanksgiving
A large family meal — often turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie — along with parades and football. The day after is known as Black Friday.
Is the countdown accurate where I live?
Yes. The countdown runs on your device's clock and ends at midnight in your own time zone, so it's right wherever you are. You can show it full screen on a TV or spare monitor with the full-screen button or the F key.
