THANKSGIVING Day,as celebrated in North America,is a time to gather with family and friends to give thanks for the year’s harvest (丰收) and peaceful life.To many kids,it is a chance to get out of school for a long weekend and eat a great dinner.
In the US,Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November.In Canada,it is the second Monday in October.On the Thanksgiving dinner table,people will find delicious fruits and foods such as apples,oranges,corn and cranberry sauce (越橘汁).But the most traditional foods are roast turkeys and pumpkin pies.They have stayed popular through the years.
Thanksgiving has a history of nearly 400 years in US.In 1620,more than 100 English sailed to the North America,but they arrived too late to grow crops.Without fresh food,half of them died.Then local (当地的) Native Americans taught them how to hunt,fish and grow corn and other crops.
After the first harvest,they invited the Native Americans to a dinner to thank them for their help.In 1865,the US Congress (国会) made Thanksgiving a national holiday.
The Thanksgiving celebration has not changed much through the years.It is still a time for sharing.Even if they live far away,family members will get together and give thanks for the good things they have.
