Thanksgiving, also known as Thanksgiving Day, is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and express gratitude in general. It is primarily a North American holiday which has generally become a national secular holiday with religious origins.
The dates and whereabouts of the first Thanksgiving celebration are a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.
Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members.
it is a national holiday. schools are closed, government and state workers get a paid day off work on Thanksgiving day. many families gather together to spend that day with each other. it is a high travel day in the united states. some take the friday off work to make it a 4 day weekend event.
tradition is people eat turkey and the side dishes that typically go with it.
sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, mince pie, cranberries, dressing/stuffing, etc.
it is a lot of work for a sit down 15 minute meal. some things take a lot of preparation time the day before.
i mean, how can someone bake a turkey, do vegetable casseroles and bake pies all at once?
then the day is spent watching football........
people then have turkey sandwiches in their lunches for days after that.
the smart mom usually tosses out the left over turkey by day #4 to keep the sanity on her home...
some families only make the traditional turkey dinner at Thanksgiving day and Christmas day.

we don't wait for the big sale on turkeys to buy and fix one.

Parts of it were psychedelic. I thought Bono's character was funny 
He makes an appearance in the movie. You wouldn't have known it was Bono at first. So much Beatles symbolism in the movie.
