What is similar to Thanksgiving?

There are several differences between the two holidays; for example, Thanksgiving Day is the holiday that people give thanks to God for a plentiful harvest, it involves not only thanks but also usually a period when people help those who are poor and less fortunate than themselves. Thanksgiving promotes thankfulness and gratitude, but has a North American history clinging to those morals that alienate people outside of North America. The Canadians celebrate thanksgiving during the second Monday of October and while in the Americans, it being celebrated during the fourth Thursday in November every year. Christmas is the day Christians go to church where the take part in a special religious service in order to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is the day of spreading joy, good cheers, exchanging gift, family reunion, and eating special food. Christmas promotes certain morals of sharing and giving to others that people can easily identify with. Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with either the day exactly nine months after Christians believe Jesus to have been conceived which is the date of roman winter solstice or various ancient winter festivals.
both Thanksgiving and Christmas are time of giving thanks, merriments, gift exchange and family reunion but the clear differences are there purposes are not the same. Thanksgiving serves as pilgrim's celebration of harvest and Christmas as Jesus Christ birth day, and also, there dates are not the same. Since Christmas is generally known around the world as a renowned holiday for the birth of our savior Christ, the Thanksgiving is only known and recognized in Canada and the United States alone and is a symbol of a good harvest.
