Happy Thanksgiving!

From the story of the “First Thanksgiving” we learned as children to the real historical events that inspired the holiday, Thanksgiving is full of fascinating history and traditions. In this episode, we explore how Thanksgiving became a national holiday, how celebrations have evolved over time—including classic foods, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, football games, and Black Friday—and how people in other countries celebrate their own versions of Thanksgiving. We also discuss the complexities and controversies behind the holiday, helping listeners understand both its past and present.
