Thanksgiving Day, an annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest

and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled

on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag

people. The American holiday is particularly rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of

the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin

pie. With respect to vehicular travel, the holiday is often the busiest of the year, as family members

gather with one another.
