Thanksgiving is a special holiday that is celebrated every year with family, especially in the United States and Canada. It began a long time ago, in 1621, when the first settlers arrived in America and shared a big meal with the Native Americans to thank the land for the good harvests. On this day, people often eat turkey, mashed potatoes, and a delicious pumpkin pie.

The pumpkin, the emblematic fruit of autumn, has become a veritable symbol of the Halloween holiday.Its connection with this celebration has its origins in ancient Celtic traditions, notably that of Jack-o'-lantern, an Irish legend that tells the story of a man condemned to wander around with a lantern carved out of a turnip.Arriving in America, immigrants discovered the pumpkin, more abundant and easy to carve, and adopted it to create spooky lanterns.
