In the USA, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day on 4th Thursday of November. In that day,for many American it is the most holiday apart from Christmas. School, offices, and most business close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
Last year, I was celebrate Thanksgiving in the USA. People always with them families meet for a big dinner. The meal includes turkey, pumpkin pie and cranberries.The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. I Love it! In addition, I was remember the American people told me they always say "thank for the world so sweet, thank for the food we eat and thank God ,for everything!" I don't really know why they say that on Thanksgiving day, maybe it different culture?
On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. Also, Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents. I like 'Black Friday"
very much. Maybe the Thanksgiving Day is similar to Spring Festival in China, because these holidays people always with them families meet for a big dinner.
Nice summary Dora. Maybe it is similar to the spring festival.
