Thanksgiving Day Fun Facts

Did you know that aside from America, there are 7 other countries that celebrate Thanksgiving? These are Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, Liberia, and Switzerland.
Thanksgiving is close to everyone's heart because this is the time when families are gathered around enjoying a sumptuous meal and giving thanks to everything that has been given to them this year.

In New York, every Thanksgiving day Macy's holds a Thanksgiving Day Parade that has been a family favorite.

- Anne Frank

"Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds."
- Theodore Roosevelt

"Your friend is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving."
- Kahlil Gibran

"Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow."
- Edward Sandford Martin
