The tradition in Canada was started by Martin Frobisher. He commemorated the event in the year 1578.

Farmers in Europe observed Thanksgiving to get good harvest. They followed a tradition of stuffing horn of a goat with harvested grains. The horn was referred to as 'cornucopia'. The literal meaning of the term is 'the Horn of Plenty'. This tradition was carried on even after their settlement in Canada. Today, they send

messages for Thanks Giving to their near and dear ones.

Thanks Giving is widely celebrated in the United States. The day is declared as a legal one-day holiday each year. Thanks Giving falls on the 4th Thursday in the month of November each year.
