THANKSGIVING is famously associated with turkey, parades, and family.<\/p>\n
The celebration is observed by millions across the US and has a deeply rooted history.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This year, Thanksgiving falls on November 24.<\/p>\n
The special day is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November each year and is an official federal holiday.<\/p>\n
However, the US isn't the only nation to observe the holiday – Canada, Puerto Rico, Grenada, and Liberia do so, too.<\/p>\n
In Canada, the holiday fell on Monday, October 10 this year.<\/p>\n
