Happy Thanksgiving

	The traditional North American holiday in which we express thanks for material and spiritual possessions is known as nothing other than Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day. Celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, this year it falls on November 26th, 2009.
When most of us think of Thanksgiving, we think of happy Pilgrims and Indians sitting down to a big feast. However, that is not entirely true! Find out about the history behind the Thanksgiving holiday, as well as the story of Thanksgiving that helped create a common American heritage.
