#UnitedStates, November 24, 2017 – American Thanksgiving Day is a 228 year old tradition for the country which started as a harvest celebration which President Abraham Lincoln explained was necessary because, “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens,” was important to do.   The holiday has morphed to being more focused on the turkey led menu, the parade, the football and the tax free shopping aka Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

There is however a strong tradition of spending time with family, which makes the holiday weekend a most important time for Americans. On Friday, the Turks and Caicos holds its own National Day of Thanksgiving.
