November 23 is a national holiday called kinro kansha no hi (勤労感謝の日), Labor Thanksgiving Day. It was established in 1948． Before that it was niinamesai (新嘗祭), which is the day to thank hervests.
It is nice to have a day off during weekday to rest. Since I have had a cold for 10 days or so, I could sleep well.
This Thursday is Thanksgiving in the USA and people eat the Turkey dinner. But in Japan there is no special celebration on this holiday now as far as I know.
