Thanksgiving in the USA
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving every year on the fourth Thursday in November.
It’s a very important festival for families, who usually come together for a long
weekend – even if some of them have to travel long distances to get home. According
to American tradition, the first Thanksgiving took place in 1621, soon after the first
European settlers arrived in North America.
The most common meal at Thanksgiving in the USA is roast turkey and vegetables.
Of course, you don’t have to have turkey on the table. Crab and lobster are also
popular.
Apart from the family meal, the Thanksgiving weekend is also a time for sport,
parades and shopping. There are American football matches on TV, as well as college
football matches around the country. In New York, the department store Macy’s
organizes a famous fancy-dress parade which always ends with Santa Claus. The
Friday of Thanksgiving weekend is traditionally a busy shopping day because people
start buying presents for Christmas.
Traditionally, autumn festivals are an occasion to give thanks for having plenty of
food. However, Thanksgiving is also an opportunity to remember those people who
are less fortunate. In many US cities, volunteers spend some of the holiday working
in soup kitchens which cook free food for the poor and homeless.
1) At first, Thanksgiving was celebrated in Europe.
2) People cook turkey with potatoes.
3) You can watch important sport events on TV at Thanksgiving.
4) Thanksgiving is the beginning of Christmas preparations.
5) Homeless and poor people don’t have to pay for food in soup kitchens.
