Thanksgiving: a time with family, to give thanks, sharing a festive
spread of homemade cooking, pumpkin pie, apple pie, turkey dinner,
stuffing and cranberry sauce, hot mulled wine, cornucopias, gourds and
squash, crisp air tinged with the musky smell of fallen leaves, Macy's
Thanksgiving Day parade, early holiday sales, or perhaps a vacation to
a tropical paradise.
The Photo.net editors have collected a few favorite Thanksgiving
photos and fall
themed pictures that capture the essence of the season. All of these
Thanksgiving and fall-themed photos were contributed by our audience.
We
selected images of beautiful fall foliage, artistic holiday images,
families,
landscapes, parades, and of course, food. If the picture doesn't seem
Thanksgiving or fall-related at first glance, click on it to learn
more
information from the photographer. Perhaps the photograph was taken on
Thanksgiving Day, or perhaps it was selected to encourage everyone to
think
about what this time of year truly represents. The images below remind
us
of what it means to celebrate this holiday, give thanks, and
experience the
fall season. Enjoy these Thanksgiving photos!

Nothing can be more American then to call for images illustrating Thanksgiving Day. This almost four hundred years old tradition is clearly part of American Heritage, but it is indeed very very American. As far as I know only Canada has a similar celebration.
One could have imagined that the selection of photos here would clarify what is at stake. Looking at the selection I fail to understand what is going on. I see the turkey but that's it. Could someone with better knowledge on what you are feasting (apart from a day off from work) put it in words and pictures and mail it here please.
As thanksgiving surely has a religious background I upload this photo.
