Thanksgiving break

Turkey week off

Thanksgiving break is a school holiday in the United States, typically spanning several days around the fourth Thursday in November when Thanksgiving falls.

For many students, it marks the first extended trip home after the fall semester begins: I'm flying back to see my parents over Thanksgiving break.

The break ranges from a few days to a full week depending on the institution.
