Best Answer
  1. the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, esp. to God.
  2. an expression of thanks, esp. to God.
  3. a public celebration in acknowledgment of divine favor or kindness.
  4. a day set apart for giving thanks to God.

in the dictionary, it is also a Harvest. A time of gathering crops, grain, fruits and veges with thanks. So its like Thanksgiving. (with punkins, etc...) that's what I think.

Best day for shopping in Thanksgiving?

Shopping about a week after Thanksgiving works best.

Unless you enjoy that sort of thing.
