People also take time to give to charity and spend time with loved ones.

Canada

In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October, following the harvest season. Families enjoy meals like turkey or roast beef and spend time outdoors enjoying autumn colors. Canadian Thanksgiving focuses on gratitude for the harvest and is celebrated more quietly than in the U.S., without big parades or commercial events.

Liberia

Liberia, in West Africa, celebrates Thanksgiving on the first Thursday of November. The holiday was influenced by American traditions because Liberia was settled by freed American slaves. People attend church services, enjoy meals of rice, chicken, and fish, and spend time with family, reflecting on freedom and blessings.

Germany

Germany celebrates a harvest festival called Erntedankfest at the end of September or early October. People decorate homes and churches with fruits, vegetables, and grains. They attend religious services and enjoy traditional foods like sausages, breads, and seasonal vegetables. It is a way to give thanks for the year’s harvest.

Japan

Japan observes Labor Thanksgiving Day on November 23. Originally a harvest festival, it is now a day to honor workers and their contributions. Schools, workplaces, and communities hold ceremonies, parades, and events to express gratitude for work and cooperation.
