Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. It is a time for families and friends to come together and give thanks for the blessings of the past year. The day is typically marked by a traditional feast featuring turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. It is also a time for reflection and gratitude, as people take stock of all the things they are thankful for.
Many people also use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to volunteer and give back to their communities. From serving meals at homeless shelters to participating in food drives, there are countless ways to show gratitude and support for those in need during this special day.
November Calendar Special Days
Black Friday
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. Retailers offer deep discounts on a wide range of products, from electronics to clothing, and shoppers flock to stores in search of bargains. The term “Black Friday” originated in the 1960s and refers to the day when retailers’ sales go from being “in the red” to “in the black,” indicating profitability.
While Black Friday shopping can be chaotic and competitive, many people enjoy the thrill of finding great deals and scoring big savings. In recent years, online shopping has also become a popular way to take advantage of Black Friday discounts, with many retailers offering exclusive deals on their websites.
