Thanksgiving in the US is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November: and in 2008, Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 27.
In the US, Thanksgiving weekend is a major occasion: legions of people fly home that weekend to be with their families. (Canadian Thanksgiving, in early October is much more low-key.)
Thanksgiving in the US also marks the start of the "Holiday Season": for example, Christmas decorations go up at many resorts, theme parks, etc., and many places stage a tree-lighting or an appearance by Santa at the end of Thanksgiving weekend festivities.
