In Scandinavia we have harvest festivals that have something in common with the Thanksgiving. But this festival is earlier, in october, since the harvest is earlier due to our more northernly location... Denmark is at the height of Hudson Bay in Canada and I believe that Thanksgiving Day in Canada is in the beginning of november. It makes sense.
I've done a little homework by reading a very interesting article on Thanksgiving Day from Wikipedia.

According to the tradition the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621.
Jennie A. Brownscombe made a very beautiful painting of this in 1914 and I find the scenery very realistic, too. Enjoy it below:
