Thanksgiving

On Wednesday 24^th November, Farrah told us something about Thanksgiving.

This year, Thanksgiving was on 25^th of November. For me, it was very interesting, because I didn’t know anything about Thanksgiving.

Food:

Things what people in America eat on Thanksgiving are: a turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fried onion and green beans, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, corn pudding, a pumpkin pie, pecan pie and some more things.

History:

The first Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621. In the first year, the Pilgrims were in America they didn’t know how to get food, to build houses and some more things. So Squanto helped the Pilgrims and he told them very useful things. Because of this, the Pilgrims organized a little party to thank Squanto.

The day after Thanksgiving:

The Americans call the day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday”. It is the traditional start of shopping Christmas-presents. Very popular presents are toys and electronics. The shops open very early in the morning to get all the people in.
