Answer 1

Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving Day,celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November,has officially been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863,when during the Civil War,President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday,November 26.As a federal and popular holiday in the U.S.,Thanksgiving is one of the "big six" major holidays of the year (along with Christmas,New Year's Day,Memorial Day,the Fourth of July,and Labor Day).Together with Christmas and the New Year,Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season.
On Thanksgiving Day,families and friends usually gather for a large meal or dinner.Consequently,the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is one of the busiest travel periods of the year.Thanksgiving is a four-day or five-day weekend vacation for schools and colleges.Most business and government workers (78% in 2007) are given Thanksgiving and the day after as paid holidays.Thanksgiving Eve,the night before Thanksgiving,is one of the busiest nights of the year for bars and clubs,as many college students and others return to their hometowns to reunite with friends and family.
