Absolutely! No matter how much I may need that $1,000, spending time with my family is priceless and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Is it a Thanksgiving tradition to give out presents to your family?

However, some families may choose to give small tokens of appreciation or host gift exchanges as part of their personal holiday traditions.
Thanksgiving is an annual celebrationbut just what is it actually a celebration of?
Thanksgiving is an annual tradition in celebration of the act of giving thanks in a manner of remembering how the Native Americans and the Pilgrims shared a meal after having worked together. That year the Native Americans had shown the Pilgrims how to survive off the land when they first arrived in Plymouth Rock, so it was a rather momentous and celebratory occasion for them.

Why do people eat turkey on Thanksgiving?
Turkey on Thanksgiving People eat turkey on Thanksgiving because of tradition. People grow up learning that turkey is served on Thanksgiving and carry that on from generation to generation.Other users share their ideas:I presume it was because the Native Americans introduced the bird to the Pilgrims (but not necessarily on Thanksgiving Day). It was a large bird that was not migratory and therefore was available throughout the year. It was large enough to feed more than one family.Thanksgiving became a time of gathering for families that had moved apart. Turkey is a large bird and you can feed many people from one roasted turkey, rather than roasting many smaller fowl. (It was more likely the Pilgrims ate grouse, duck, goose and swan than turkey. Serving turkey became a matter of convenience and simplicity for the American public. Why cook 10 small chickens when you can roast one 25-lb bird?)

What is the holiday celebrated in Canada every October on the 2nd Monday?
I haven't been able to find too much on the subject. However, I do know that Canadian Thanksgiving does not celebrate the harvest festival in Plymouth rather they celebrate a harvest festival in Newfoundland. Also since the the holiday stems from the traditions of harvest festivals being a more northern country leads to an earlier final harvest and thus an earlier Thanksgiving.

When do Germans celebrate Thanksgiving?
Germans celebrate Erntedankfest, which is their version of Thanksgiving. It's not celebrated on a certain date; different regions may celebrate on different days. It is more religious in nature than the American Thanksgiving. Many families serve traditional German foods instead of turkey and other dishes associated with American Thanksgivings.
What are the similarities between Germany Thanksgiving and the US Thanksgiving?
Erntedankfest (Harvest Festival of Thanks) German Thanksgiving is in later September to early October Rather than being the big family celebration as in America. It roots back in the harvest days like America, when communities celebrated the end of a successful harvest before winter came.
