Thanksgiving wishes 2019: Best images, memes, greetings and messages
Thanksgiving comes on Thursday, November 28 this year, and is celebrated mainly in the US and its administrative territories, parts of the Caribbean and Canada. In the US, Thanksgiving commemorates when Native Americans helped early pilgrim settlers through the winter of 1621 with food and provisions. Pilgrims were able to grow and harvest a reasonable crop thanks to their help, which they shared the year after, and Americans commemorate this every year on the last Thursday of November.
