Thanksgiving brings American families together in late November, recalling the Pilgrim Fathers\u2019 first harvest in Massachusetts in 1621.<\/p><p>Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Chung explains that during his time in America, he noticed that Thanksgiving gave relatives who live hundreds of kilometers away from each other the chance to get together.<\/p><p>\u201cFor Americans, Thanksgiving means a time to go back home,\u201d says Chung. \u201cAmericans tend to live further apart than Koreans, as the USA is a much bigger country. That can often make it harder for relatives to get together as a family.\u201d<\/p><p>Canadians, meanwhile, also celebrate their own Thanksgiving. Juliette Yip, of Samsung Renewable Energy\u2019s legal team in Canada, explains the historical significance of the celebration. Yip says, \u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of the abundance of the harvest season. The first European settlers who arrived in Canada found the conditions very harsh. Considering the climactic difficulties they experienced, it became quite a big deal when they managed to reap a good harvest.\u201d<\/p><p>The focal point of Canadian Thanksgiving is a festive family meal. Manik Raina, also of the Samsung Renewable Energy legal team, Canada, explains, \u201cMost Canadians celebrate with a big Thanksgiving dinner, which most typically includes turkey, stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes. As Canada is so multicultural, people with different backgrounds often make other dishes that reflect their own cultural traditions. Regardless, it is a big whole-family event where the important thing is spending time in each other\u2019s company.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4967a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e4967a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Festive Spirit<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e7bfc84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e7bfc84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although not every culture celebrates their harvest festival at exactly the same time, autumnal weather will forever be associated with reaping in the fruits of agricultural labor \u2013 and thus welcomed with great cheer.<\/p><p>Even in the digital age, mankind\u2019s great agricultural festivals have lost none of their powerful meaning, providing a time for thanks, laughter and spending quality moments with family.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e16aa03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e16aa03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/harvestmap-2-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzY5NTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMTZcLzA5XC9oYXJ2ZXN0bWFwLTItMS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/harvestmap-2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-36952\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/harvestmap-2-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/harvestmap-2-1-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/09\/harvestmap-2-1-1024x736.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvesting is one of the oldest activities known to mankind.
