The main feature of American Thanksgiving is the tradition of gathering with family and friends to enjoy a special meal together. This meal typically includes a roasted turkey as the centerpiece, along with side dishes like mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pumpkin pie for dessert. Another key aspect of Thanksgiving is expressing gratitude and thankfulness for the blessings in one's life. Additionally, many people watch or attend parades, such as the famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Finally, football games are also a popular feature of Thanksgiving for many Americans, with several NFL games traditionally played on this day.
