Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday of each November. It is many people’s idea of a perfect holiday, and it is a day off. People usually get together and spend their time with their family, watch TV and eat turkey. We didn’t celebrate thanksgiving in my country, so I wasn’t familiar with it. The Thanksgiving holiday is a reminder to give thanks for the good things, people and providential events in our lives.

I know that the fourth Thursday of November is Thanksgiving. It is a happy holiday. I know about Thanksgiving, that in the 1620, a little England ship came to America. The people were called Pilgrims. The first winter was cold for them and they were hungry, so many of them died.In the spring , Indians came to visit , and they shoved Pilgrims how to plant corn and hunt the wild turkeys. When fall came they were very happy, because they have a lot of food. They made a big dinner and invited the Indians. The Pilgrims were thankful for the good things they had. This was the first Thanksgiving in America. My family had a feast on Thanksgiving. I cooked turkey, gravy and dressing. We bought pumpkin pie for dessert. For me, Thanksgiving is a family holiday ,because because all families in the USA are getting together. They are thankful for the food they eat and for the friends and family they have!

Thanksgiving Day - one of the favorite holidays of America. The first time it was in 1621, when British settlers decided to give praise to God for the rich harvest, resulting in a new land.In 1941 the Congress passed a bill that secured him the fourth Thursday in November.Thanksgiving usually celebrated in the family and friends. The holiday table is the same as a few centuries ago - roast turkey with cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie and a variety of dishes made from corn. In my country, we do not celebrate this holiday. When we arrived in the United States, we learned about it. We liked this holidau because everyone in my family has something for to say " thanks my God."

I like Thanksgiving because my whole family gets together. Together, we are preparing different foods. But the main dish of the day is oven-baked turkey. My whole family loves this dish .A then we are in interesting conversations.

I know that Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated the United States as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Thanksgiving we gather with our relatives and have a big party. Turkey is associated with Thanksgiving. We cook most food for thanksgiving at home. We grill our turkey and eat it at our party. People thank God for his help and blessings. It is as a family holiday.
