The Day of Thanksgiving stands out in the holidays because it can be celebrated by almost everyone. He is not tied to a specific religion and people can celebrate it the way you want.The only essential traditions are to a meal with friends or with family and thanks for what youhave. In the world of holidays, Thanksgiving Day is the most simple and pure as possible.
The holiday also honors American history, of course. In many school plays, American children told the story of the first Day of Thanksgiving, when Pilgrims and Native Americanscelebrated the autumn harvest in cooperation and acceptance.
In general, we think that the Day of Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, but there's actually a great tradition of celebrations at harvest time and Thanksgiving.
One curiosity: one of the most important symbols of Thanksgiving Day, the cornucopia, actually dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. The term (generally describing ahorn-shaped vase with fruits, flowers and other goodies) comes from the Latin cornu copy, which literally means "horn of plenty." In Greek mythology, the cornucopia is a goat's horn,was cursed by Zeus to produce an infinite amount of whatever the owner desires.
