Thanksgiving 2025- Gratitude Becomes The Warmth Of Winter
Oct
As the last leaves fall and the first cold breeze of winter gently touches the windows, the people of the United States prepare together for a special occasion – Thanksgiving 2025, takes place on Thursday, November 27. Not only is it a national holiday, but it is also the most important occasion for families to express gratitude and reunite.
The meaning of Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving originated in the early 17th century, when English settlers at Plymouth in New England held the first Thanksgiving feast to thank the natives for their bountiful harvests and help. In 1941, the United States Congress officially designated the holiday as the fourth Thursday in November. Since then,
Thanksgiving has become an important part of American culture, a symbol of gratitude, unity, and sharing.
Over the centuries, the profound meaning of this holiday has remained unchanged – it is about being grateful for life, giving thanks to family, friends and the challenges that have helped us grow.
Special tradition
In modern society, Thanksgiving is not only a religious or cultural occasion but also a time of connecting people – when all temporary distances are erased with thanks, sincere smiles and activities.
- Traditional Feast: Roast turkey is still the heart of the feast. It is also accompanied by familiar side dishes like stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie.
- Cultural Activities: Iconic events like the Macy’s Parade in New York and traditional football games still attract millions of viewers.
- Economy and Shopping: Thanksgiving is a huge traffic hit and sets the stage for Black Friday – the biggest shopping day of the year – which takes place the following day, boosting the holiday economy.
Thanksgiving in modern times
Today, Thanksgiving is not only celebrated in the United States but also spread to many places around the world, especially countries with American communities. Many Vietnamese families in the United States, Canada or Australia still maintain this tradition as a way to preserve cultural values and connect generations in the family.

Cozy and Personalized Decor:
- Vintage/Nostalgic: Decorating with a nostalgic style, using old/handmade items and warm colors
