Thanksgiving is traditionally a harvest festival.
Similar festivals are celebrated in many parts of the world to give thanks after the years crops have been safely harvested. Canada celebrates it's Thanksgiving the second Monday in October.

The Pilgrims had struggled bravely through a grim winter with much sickness and little food.
