Thanksgiving is one of most celebrated holiday seasons in the United States of America. From the famous turkey roast with an assortment of dressings to mouth-watering desserts like pumpkin pie and pecan pie, this day is a foodies delight. Thanksgiving is usually celebrated to thank the Almighty for all the food and things he has given us.In the year 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had moved the official celebration to the third Thursday of November since he wanted to help the economy by making the Christmas shopping season a little bit longer. Later it was changed to the fourth Thursday of the month. Another question that people still ask is why turkey? There are too many myths about that. Some say that the choice was inspired by Queen Elizabeth I, while others say that wild turkeys are native to North America and hence were naturally their first choice.The idea of celebrating Thanksgiving is no longer limited to America; it’s spread all over the world.
