Thanksgiving is an official American holiday, established to remember the feast held by the Pilgrims in 1621. 
For most Americans, it is a day of food (a large dinner featuring roast turkey), family, and football. And a day to be thankful for what we have- family, health, friends, freedoms. A day to pause and reflect before the very busy Xmas season.
On the flip side: Some Native Americans participate in a Day of Mourning, remembering the violence and discrimination suffered by the native populations of the Americas.

Happy Thanksgiving, Jane. I hope you have a nice family holiday and enjoy the traditional turkey :) I just saw G. Bush pardoning a turkey that boarded a plane to fly to Disneyland.
That goes to all Americans too.
