why human thank God Do you know Thanksgiving Day? Do you know why human thank God? Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November， a different date every year。 The President must proclaim that date as the official celebration。 

Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing。 Even if they live far away， family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative。 All give thanks together for the good things that they have。 In this spirit of sharing， civic groups and charitable organizations offer a traditional meal to those in need， particularly the homeless。 

On most tables throughout the United States， foods eaten at the first thanksgiving have become traditional。
