Lol Christian! I never noticed before you posted it that now there is a turkey in the IW logo. Last time I noticed it was the halowwen version.

You could check here. I don't know the accuracy of it's facts, though. I haven't exactly read through the site and I never paid too much attention in history.

I know thanksgiving was the first harvest feast started by the pilgrims. They brought the Native Americans over to celebrate a plentiful harvest and give thanks for the harvest. The Natives got invited more or less in thanks for their assistance in teaching to new settlers how to grow crops effectively. That's what I remember.

Thanksgiving is clerbrated by other countries as well, but on different months, Canada has already had theirs, ours is a history of our people, celebrating the union of the pilgrams and the native Americans, beyond that, you will have to search it up on the net, I do not remember history that well

We also don`t have.

I would think that most countries would have some sort of equivalent. A day and a feast of thanksgiving for something or another.

We don't have it in Hungary, but I know of it.
