感恩节
感恩节是北美洲独有的节日，始于1621年。
1863年，美国总统林肯将它定为国家假日，并且规定每年11月的第四个星期四为美国的感恩节。
感恩节有四天假期。借着长假，很多人都会赶回家庆祝佳节，所以，美国感恩节的热闹程度绝不亚于中国的中秋节。
2013年的感恩节是：2013年11月28日。

美国感恩节由来:
1620年，“五月花”号船满载英国国内清教徒到达美洲。移民处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，移民只剩下50人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，教他们狩猎、捕鱼种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并邀请他们一同庆祝节日。
感恩节食物
第一次感恩节的菜谱包括：
　玉米面包，英国人和印第安人都喜欢的食物。英国奶酪派，奶酪对英国人很重要。鹿肉，印第安人带来了5头鹿鸭和鹅，英国人捕的。野生火鸡。大蒜和洋葱。南瓜布丁。印地安布丁。
