    Thanksgiving is coming, which means it’s time to start gathering items for your favorite holiday dishes. Whether celebrating with family, attending a football match or the annual parade, it’s always a day full of emotion.

    This year’s holidays fall much later than in previous years. Here’s what you need to know about this year’s Turkey Day.
