Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November and is a holiday for feasting, gathering with friends and family and giving thanks. In the United States, it's not uncommon for people to live far away from their loved ones and to head home to spend Thanksgiving weekend with their kin. Here is a funny video about spending your holidays in your hometown.
