Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short speeches and give thanks for their food.
We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is always the most crowded room in our house because we all help prepare the food. We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food, so we remember why we celebrate the festival. We usually eat too much, but it is
only once a year! We often talk
a lot and tell stories after dinner
as well. When it is all over,
everyone helps wash the dishes.
The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. During the Thanksgiving Day festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go we go to watch the Macy’s hanksgiving Day Parade, as it goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s store. Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.
