Celebrating the Harvest<\/h2>\n

I grew up in a rural community in the UK. Every year in October families\u00a0donated fresh produce or tins of food for our school “Harvest Festival” celebrations. I remember the school stage bursting with the colours of autumn and the school hall full of songs of celebration at the \u00a0special assembly. This was a very important time for my family especially, as my parents were farmers, so gathering a good harvest was a necessity for us.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving Day<\/h2>\n

Our Harvest Festivals though are pretty low-key compared to the US and Canada, who both celebrate Thanksgiving Day (2nd Monday in October for Canada, 4th Thursday in November for US). Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday to celebrate and give thanks for the year’s harvest. Families and friends gather together to eat turkey and pumpkin pie and watch the famous Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade or watch the special NFL matches (in the US), which are a big feature of the weekend long celebrations.<\/p>\n
