Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. As a federal and popular holiday, Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the year. Together with Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season.

Most government offices, businesses, schools and other organizations are closed on Thanksgiving Day. They have a four-day weekend so they are also closed on Friday after Thanksgiving Day which is called Black Friday.
