 Thanksgiving,
or Thanksgiving Day, is a public holiday celebrated on
the fourth Thursday of November[1] in the United States.
It originated as a harvest festival. Thanksgiving has
been celebrated nationally on and off since 1789, after
Congress requested a proclamation by George
Washington.[2] It has been celebrated as a federal
holiday every year since 1863, when, during the American
Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a
national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our
beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens," to be
celebrated on the last Thursday in November.[3][4]
Together with Christmas and the New Year, Thanksgiving
is a part of the broader fall/winter holiday season in
the U.S.

 Christmas
is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus
Christ,[8][9] observed primarily on December
25[4][10][11] as a religious and cultural celebration
among billions of people around the world.[2][12][13] A
feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is
preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast
and initiates the season of Christmastide, which
historically in the West lasts twelve days and
culminates on Twelfth Night;[14] in some traditions,
Christmastide includes an octave.[15] Christmas Day is a
public holiday in many of the world's
nations,[16][17][18] is celebrated religiously by a
majority of Christians,[19] as well as culturally by
many non-Christians,[1][20] and forms an integral part
of the holiday season centered around it.
