World Thanksgiving Day.

It all began in November 1620, when a group of 102 English pilgrims landed in Plymouth, USA, fleeing religious persecution in Europe.
A year later, the governor, to thank the bountiful harvest, decided to institute a holiday to "give thanks." At the beginning, the celebration was done in the fall. 
This happened in 1621, when people organized a party to celebrate the productive harvest after having had a very rigorous winter.
Since then, every year there was a festival to thank for the good harvest. 
In 1863, US President Abraham Lincoln officially decreed that the fourth Thursday of November would be Thanksgiving.
