Without exception, Thanksgiving always falls on the fourth Thursday of November in America and the second Monday of October in Canada. This year that's today. In the US, government offices, business and schools are close on Thanksgiving Day.
The celebration of Thanksgiving is, in general, a feast to give thanks for the fruits of the previous harvest, in America specifically and it dates back to the 1600s.
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good - Psalm 107:1 NIV
David wrote - Psalm 103:2 - its good to remember God's past mercies, how He forgave our sins, healed us, sustained us and lavished His blessing upon us. Continually thinking upon this will help us become more thankful and trusting.

The spiritual healthy Christian knows what to remember and what to forget.
Forget not all his benefits - Psalm 103:2
Forgetting those things which are behind - Phil 3:13
Don't let the abundance of God's gift cause you to forget the giver.
