During this day, American people do a big dinner with turkey, potatoes, pumpkins pie, yarms, corn bread, cramberry sauce… They spend this day with all their family : grandparents, uncles, cousins… Or with close friends. After the dinner, they do activities like football, baseball, bingo… This holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the Pilgrims in 1621 to give thanks to God for the plentiful havest and all the blessing he bestowed upon them.

Thanksgiving is a big holiday in America; it’s celebrated in the fall months of the year. That every fourth Thursday in November. It is a day to be thankful for all that we have. The holiday commemorates a harvest festival celebrated by the pilgrims in 1621 to give thanks to god for the plentiful harvest and all the blessing he bestowed upon them. That is celebrated with all the family and we eat a big dinner. This traditional meal includes turkey, cranberry, sauce, potatoes, stuffing, and a load of other good food. Sometimes grand-parents tell stories about being grateful for something after dinner. Americans love thanksgiving because it is a holiday that brings their families close and they all can be thankful together.
