Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the USA on the 4th Thursday of November.
The tradition comes from the first people to arrive from England to North
America. The
Native Americans taught them to grow food and hunt, and the pilgrims
invited the Native Americans for a dinner after the harvest. This was the
first Thanksgiving in common folklore.
Nowadays, Thanksgiving is the country’s largest secular holiday and
represents a time when friends and family get together for a large
turkey dinner. Traditionally people make stuffing, mashed potatoes,
cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie to go with the huge
roast turkey.
In the morning, there is a massive parade in NYC called the Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day parade, which has a lot of giant balloons, famous
people, and marching bands. In the afternoon, people watch American
football games. There is usually one game in the afternoon and one in
the evening.
