November 24, 2022

The real story behind Thanksgiving is, that the citizens of the United States of America and Canada celebrate the harvest and blessings of their previous year. It is believed that this tradition of celebrating thanksgiving is modeled on the harvest celebrations by English pilgrims since 1621. As turkey is the national dish that was eaten on Thanksgiving for decades there is a connection between the two. One great way to celebrate Thanksgiving is to call close family and friends for a delicious dinner and some games. A Thanksgiving party can be fun! Below are a few Thanksgiving party games for family and friends that can be played on party night.
