For us in Europe, the last Thursday in November holds little significance; it is merely the day that represents the middle of the week. However, in the U.S., it is Thanksgiving Day, a special day dedicated to expressing gratitude to God (or whomever you wish) for the blessings you’ve experienced and the good things that have come your way. Giving thanks for life is something we should do every day, but for those who don’t or who may forget, at least North Americans have a day where they eat turkey, drink wine, enjoy NFL football games, and remember the importance and beauty of being grateful.

Para nosotros en Europa el ultimo jueves de noviembre no tiene mayor importancia. es solo el dia que representa la mitad de la semana. Pero en EEUU es el día de acción de gracias, el famoso THANKSGIVING DAY. Es un dia señalado para agradecerle a Dios (o a quien desees) lo bueno que has vivido y lo bien que te han ido las cosas. Dar gracias por la vida es algo que debemos hacer todos los días pero para aquellos que no lo hacen, o se les olvida, al menos los norteamericanos tienen un dia donde comen pavo, beben vino, disfrutan de partidos de futbol (NFL) y recuerdan lo importante, y bonito que es ser agradecido.
CHEERS – GRACIAS

Thanksgiving is not officially celebrated in Ireland, but there’s such a strong connection between Ireland and the USA that some hotels and restaurants do offer a Thanksgiving dinner.

Our friends in Germany mark Thanksgiving as an autumn harvest celebration called Erntedank or Erntedankfest which is often on the first Sunday in October. This puts the Germanic Thanksgiving closer to Canada’s Thanksgiving holiday in early October, rather than the American observance in late November
