Thanksgiving Day is widely celebrated in the United States and in Canada where all families and friends gather together to enjoy the many blessings enjoyed by its nation and its citizens. The custom originated in 1621, when Governor Bradford of the Plymouth colony

appointed a day for public praise and prayer after the first harvest. In the US, Thanksgiving Day is always on the fourth Thursday of November.

Family is the focus of many Thanksgiving celebrations. If you can't be near all of your extended family during the holiday, start a tradition that allows you to connect with them from a distance. This includes sending a holiday meal as a wonderful way to let these special people know you are thinking of them.

Traditionally, a family would celebrate it with an elaborate dinner at home invite over all their family members and friends. The most famous part of a Thanksgiving feast are stuffed turkey, winter squash, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, etc.

If you are going to host a thanksgiving dinner at home, set up a menu that is fun, festive and exciting for everyone. A lot of people will choose not to eat or cook a traditional American Thanksgiving meal. The celebration does not have to actually revolve around the turkey alone. If your family or friends aren’t such big fans of turkey, create a unique dinner for them or come up with a unique menu that you are sure everyone will enjoy. Suggest a buffet style where friends and family can bring foods on their own and share it with everyone. Be creative. Feel free to experiment with new dishes.

Spice up Thanksgiving dinner with a new meal like charcoal grilled chicken. A chicken cooked on the grill always brings out great flavors and taste. There is nothing more enjoyable than having a grilled chicken with your favorite drinks and good friends or family to talk with while enjoying a great meal. The meal can also be served with a variety of side dishes.

If you are not the one for cooking, you can just opt to order for not much more than it would cost for you to make the meal yourself. Or make reservations.
