Thanksgiving doesn't really have a mascot. I would guess a chicken would be the mascot.
There is no thanksgiving in Sweden. Glad Tacksägelsedag would be a literal translation. Thanksgiving would be understood though. There is an annual Thanksgiving Day in Sweden which is a church holiday, called tacksägelsedagen, which literally means thanksgiving day, but this day has has nothing to do with pilgrims, turkeys, and pumpkins, which are all unique to the American experience. Religious Swedes go to church on the holiday but, as most Swedes (and Europeans in general) are secular, most do not go.
People eat cranberries at Thanksgiving because they are a food that would have been served at the first Thanksgiving, which is commemorated on Thanksgiving Day each November. The early settlers would have used cranberries to preserve their meat.
Thanksgiving is not a Turkish Holiday. Thanksgiving is primarily celebrated in the United States and Canada. They would eat what they normally do on any other day.
Thanksgiving took place because when all the troops came home they would have a gathering. And a gathering is what the people called Thanksgiving before they came up with the name "Thanksgiving". So, when they founded the name Thanksgiving, they called it Thanksgiving instead of a gathering. I hope that helped! :)
Yes, if not for the extra day in February, Canadian Thanksgiving would have fallen on October 9 and U. S. Thanksgiving would have fallen on November 23.
I would say: 'Happy thanksgiving'. Because Thanksgiving is an American holiday, not a Dutch, there is no specific translation for it.
Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October on the second Monday.
Yes Thanksgiving would be pretty sad without both genders participating.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, and sage are closely associated with Thanksgiving.
