Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a traditional North American holiday, which is a form of harvest festival. First celebrated in what would become Canada in the late 1500s, Thanksgiving was later also celebrated in what would become the United States in the early 1600s. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States.

Grenada
In Grenada there is a national holiday of Thanksgiving Day on October 25. It is unrelated to holidays in the United States and Canada even though it bears the same name. It marks the anniversary of the US led invasion of the island in 1983 in response to the illegal deposition and execution of Grenadan Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.
