Western traditional holidays, Thanksgiving is a uniquely American festival and a time for families to gather. It falls on the fourth Thursday of November each year. In the West, Thanksgiving is second only to Christmas in importance. Customs include eating roasted turkey, pumpkin pie, playing cranberry races, and corn games. The holiday originated from the first group of English Puritans who migrated to North America. On November 25, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump "pardoned" two lucky turkeys at the White House. Besides the U.S. and Canada, countries like Egypt and Greece also have their own unique Thanksgiving traditions. Some scholars have also proposed establishing a "Chinese Thanksgiving" to promote traditional culture. Thanksgiving is a joyful celebration where people share gratitude and express thanks for God's blessings, which is the essence of this holiday.

Thanksgiving is a family holiday, where husbands and wives, children and elders from cities to towns, from towns to villages, and from villages to farms return to their hometowns to celebrate together.
Those who cannot make the trip call their parents and family to share heartfelt conversations and stories of gratitude. The main Thanksgiving meal is essentially the same across the country, with tables always laden with a variety of delicious foods-though turkey naturally takes center stage. Eating pumpkin pie serves as a reminder of the gifts once given by Native Americans to the first settlers.
In most families, traditional games are played after meals. Thanksgiving is a joyful celebration, a day for family reunions, and a moment to renew friendships. On this day, even single individuals are often invited to other households to share the joy of gratitude and express thanks to God's blessings. This is the true meaning of Thanksgiving.
