Thanksgiving

On 24th November, the American student Farrah told us something about Thanksgiving. We learned about the history, Tanksgiving today and black Friday. It was very interesting to hear.

History

Pilgrims from England went to America, but they didn’t know anything about life in America. One day, they met Squanto. He was a Native American. He told them how to farm, how to build a house, how to fish, etc. A year later, the Pilgrims invited the Americans to eat with them. This was the first Thanksgiving in the year 1621.

Thanksgiving today

Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday. On this day, the family is very important. They give thanks. The Americans give thanks for their life, their health, they give thanks for everything.

Traditional food on Thanksgiving:

They eat turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes and many more good things.


The day after Thanksgiving – Black Friday

The next holiday after Thanksgiving is Christmas. So, Black Friday is the traditional start of the Christmas presents shopping. The stores open at midnight or at 5 o’clock in the morning. They give discounts, so that more people come into their store.
