〜Thanksgiving〜

　So it’s finally gotten a little cold, the leaves are orange and yellow and red; its finally fall. So today I want to talk to you about a fall holiday. Thanksgiving. So everyone, happy thanksgiving!

　What is Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a holiday in November. We have an important meal with our family.

　But first, when is thanksgiving? Others holidays, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving: The first two are always on the same day. Halloween is always October 31. Christmas is always December 25th, but Thanksgiving… when is Thanksgiving?　Thanksgiving is always on the 4th Thursday in November. One more time; Thanksgiving is always on the 4th Thursday in November.

　For example: November 2018, last year. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.. the fourth thursday! 1, 8, 15…. It was on November 22nd.　How about this year? November 2019. Can you tell me what day is thanksgiving? That’s right. It’s Thursday the 28th.

　So Thanksgiving had a couple of important things. One important thing is thanksgiving dinner. It’s a big dinner that we eat with our family. And when we eat Thanksgiving dinner we have many special foods.
　But most important is turkey. Have you ever this bird. This is a turkey. When you cook turkey it looks like chicken, but the taste is just as little bit different. But it’s very good.
　And we also have mashed potatoes. And we usually eat mashed potatoes with gravy. It’s a special sauce we usually eat on thanksgiving. We put it on top of mashed potatoes and sometimes turkey. We also bake fresh bread.And we also bake delicious pies. Three popular pies are pumpkin, apple, and blue berry. But there are many pies. And they’re all great.

　Last, Thanksgiving, we spend with our family. When we sit down with our family and eat, we say “thanks.” We say thank you for all the good things we have: Friends, money, and good health. We say thank you for every lucky thing, every good thing, that we have. And that’s why we say “Thanksgiving.” Thanks-giving. So do you want to try thanksgiving. Its very fun.
