Thanksgiving day

Everyday we have something to be thankful for, for sure. 

We take things for granted. However, there are many people that do not have the chance of having friends, food, a home, a job, a school, toys, ... 

How lucky we are and sometimes we do not understand it!

Thanksgiving is celebrated mostly in the USA,  and also in Canada, and has a reason, a purpose. 

It really is an important time of the year for Americans. 

It is a "(...) cherished American holiday that brings families and friends together to express gratitude, share a festive meal, and reflect on the blessings of the past year. It's a time for giving thanks for the abundance in our lives and celebrating the spirit of togetherness."  (https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/thanksgiving-2024/#:~:text=November%2028,celebrating%20the%20spirit%20of%20togetherness.)
