Next to Christmas, this is one of the most celebrated festivals in the world. Thanksgiving traditionally revolves around family, friends and of course, food! And while you pass the turkey around the table this year, we have you covered with some exciting trivia at this festival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you are having dinner with your university friends or watching the parade with your gang, you will need something to keep the conversation going. So here are some fun facts about Thanksgiving from around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thanksgiving_did_not_Originate_in_the_US\"><\/span><b>Thanksgiving did not Originate in the US!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thanksgiving-origin-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thanksgiving-origin-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Thanksgiving-origin-1-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though Thanksgiving is celebrated primarily in the US and Canada, it did not originate there. The roots of this festival can actually be traced back to ancient Greece (no surprise there). Thanksgiving is all about celebrating gratitude for harvest every year which the Greeks have been doing since time immemorial. And now the Greek community across the globe adds their own twist to thanksgiving dishes as well!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Girl_Power_Made_Thanksgiving_Official\"><\/span><b>Girl Power Made Thanksgiving Official!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Woman-Power-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Woman-Power-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Woman-Power-1-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanksgiving as we know today, wouldn\u2019t have been possible if not for a very determined woman. Sarah Josepha Hale lobbied the US Congress for years, hoping to make thanksgiving an official holiday. It was in 1863 when her efforts were finally recognised and President Lincoln declared this festival of gratitude a National Holiday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turkey_was_not_on_the_Original_Menu\"><\/span><b>Turkey was not on the Original Menu!<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"730\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey-1.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.universityliving.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Turkey-1-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of thanksgiving? The big turkey in the middle of the table right? But did you know that turkey was not even on the original menu back in 1621? People indulged in other foods like lobsters and seals. So even if you are not doing the turkey this year, you\u2019ll still be in line with a longstanding tradition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dreading to be alone on your first thanksgiving abroad?

The Land Down Under celebrates Thanksgiving in flip flops, on the beach!

While in the US, thanksgiving pays respect to the Pilgrims, in Canada, it is all about celebrating the English Explorer Martin Frobisher.

The Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving day parade as it is now known had monkeys, camels, bears and even elephants back then.
