Thanksgiving: Not Just for Americans

This may surprise some of you,  but Thanksgiving isn't only celebrated in the U.S.

Families in Canada, Liberia and on a little island off Australia called Norfolk also share in this very American holiday. The reason, for the most part, is because Americans took their traditions -- and their recipes - to these countries.

Mark Johanson is an American but resides in Australia. He is the travel editor for the online publication, International Business Times and has written about this global Thanksgiving.

Take Two host A Martinez talked to him all about it.
