Tomorrow, November 26th is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Thanksgiving Day is a joyous family and friends festival celebrated with lot of enthusiasm.

Soul Food
In 1939, during the Great Depression, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously modified Lincoln's chosen date of the last Thursday of November to the second-to-last Thursday of November in order to extend the post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas shopping season. The move was met with confusion and criticism, and in 1942 FDR signed a law making Thanksgiving the fourth Thursday of November, a law which is still in effect today.
Thanksgiving Day is one of the few truly secular, nondenominational holidays in the US calendar besides the Fourth of July. Americans celebrate with a long weekend, a big meal with family and friends. On the menu, foods including soul food that reflect the tastes and colors of the autumn harvest, such as roast turkey, pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce and candied yams, and football.
As you celebrate this Thanksgiving Day, what are you thankful for? How will you celebrating the day? Whats on your Thanksgiving Day menu? What is your favorite soul food recipe?
