Hi Monica!
This is the answer for the question number 2:
In autumn 1621, about a year after the Mayflower Pilgrims made landfall at Plymouth, they put together a feast and broke bread with their Native American neighbors, the Wampanoag, who were celebrating Keepunumuk, the time of the harvest.
1)Thanksgiving Day is a celebration to give thanks for the harvest and to give gratitude in general in the USA. The first Thanksgiving celebration were on the 8th of september of 1565, but nowadays it is on the fourth Thursday of November.

Hello Monica,
I think people usually have for dessert pumpkin pie ,apple pie and other kind of pies.
After dinner people like watching American Football matches on TV. It has been a tradition since 1920.
A big hug for everyone.
Estela it was a pleasure make you feel comfortable at the hospital. I hope you get better as soon as possible. A big hug for you.

Hello Monica: I´ve celebrated several thankgivins in USA.The first time in Ohio, in 1994. this day was snowing a lot. This day is a long week-end for americans, who go to visit their families at any place. I travel with my couple from Toledo to Cleveland to her sister´s house, where the all family would be. During the day,people is eaten cookies and candies and other fruits. This day is the day of soccer´s final cup, a prize, and is the bigger celebration in US more than christmas time. Next day is the time to go to shopping. The main course is the turkey
thanks for your contribution Lucia..I didn't know you had been so many times in the USA.
Corrections:
"I travelled with my partner...." a couple is two people.
"People eat candies" (not "is eaten" which is a passive) ;-)
