After Halloween in the US, comes Thanksgiving...
Thanksgiving in the United States is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, which makes the date Thursday November 26, in 2009.
Thanksgiving turkey dinner is of course the big event of the weekend for families; but Thanksgiving also marks the start of the "Holiday Season". This makes for extra fun at family destinations: Christmas decorations go up at the Disney parks, for example; and family-friendly resorts usually schedule a tree-lighting or Santa preview appearance, at the end of their Thanksgiving weekend festivities.
