Around the world? I do believe it's ONLY a national holiday in the United States .😂

Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC!!!

I feel like these other countries don't celebrate it for the reasons we do ( I could be wrong )

Yeah we had it over a month ago in Canada but since this is a American-ized app, we get all the turkey posts now. When I was in London, nobody talked about thanksgiving (or well the people I was with)
