It's Thanksgiving. That day in America that has no other value (anymore) than to act as "starting blocks" for the Christmas shopping season. The day when merchants across the US begin REALLY bombarding you with advertisments for your our dollars. (The local hardware/outdoor place called Lowes put all their Christmas stuff on the shelves in September!) In reality...a day that celebrates the day the Indians (called Native Americans today) saved our settler asses by giving food to them...hence the day is given to thanks. It also signaled the beginning of a beautiful relationship...well, if the gradual fleecing of the occupants of this land over the next several hundred years is what you would call "beautiful". Sorry...waxing a bit cynical at the moment.
