Thanksgiving may not be as widely celebrated or known here in sunny Singapore as compared to the United States of America but it may just be the perfect reason to get together with your family and loved ones during this difficult period (observing the current safe management measures of course).
What is Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is an annual holiday national holiday in North America that involves religious observances and a traditional meal with family and loved ones. The origins of this holiday started with a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrim Fathers in 1621, and is celebrated in the USA on the fourth Thursday of November (25 Nov 2021). A similar holiday is also held in Canada, usually on the second Monday in October. Traditionally, a Thanksgiving meal will include a turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries and a pumpkin pie.
Now that you know what Thanksgiving is all about, here are some suggestions on how you can make it a thing here in Singapore. Who knows? You may even start something viral or trending on social media.
