What is the denotative definition of 'Thanksgiving'?

It is difficult to define a holiday or idea in denotative terms.
The roots of Thanksgiving (US) come from religious beliefs and
European traditions of giving thanks for a good harvest and
upcoming year. When Thanksgiving was first established as a
nationwide celebration in the US, President George Washington
proclaimed it, '...as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be
observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal
favors of Almighty God'. Based on these ideas, Thanksgiving is
literally a day of giving thanks.
