THANKSGIVING DAY


Thanksgiving Day is a US national holiday. THANKSGIVING is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of NOVEMBER in the United States. Family members and friends are together on this day. It is time to thanks and express gratitude in general. It is also a day of feasting, football and floats.
The first Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God and the Native Americans for helping the PILGRIMS survive the brutal winter. Half of the pilgrims who arrived on the MAYFLOWER had died, but many more would have died without the help from the NATIVES. They taught the pilgrims how to harvest food.
The traditional Thanksgiving menu is TURKEY, stuffing, sweet potatoes, PUMPKIN PIE and cranberries sauce.
BLACK FRIDAY is the day following Thanksgiving. Since the early 2000s, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the US,  and most major retailers open very early (and more recently during overnight hours) and offer promotional sales.

       
                                I bet you didn't know about Thanksgiving history.
                 There are some interesting facts you won't probably know about thanksgiving.
                 Have a look at the video and find out which traditional recipes weren't served at first                                    tradition celebration.

    This is the job with the word PUMPKIN:
    People celebrate been everybody
    United in a dinner, they give
    Mouthfuls to the turkey, and they
    Put decorations because they
    Know that it
    Is a special day
    Nearby of the family.

    This is the acrostic poem with PILGRIMS:

    Pumkings are changed
    In U.S.A before the
    Last Thursday of November because is
    Going to start the Thanksgiving day.
    Removed pumkings,
    It's the time to start preparing the
    Most important dinner for
    Some families in the U.S.A to thanks and express gratitude.

    Acrostic poem:
    Word: NOVEMBER.

    No one knows when
    Or where it happen.
    Valentines day can be the chosen day,
    Every moment can be the appropriate,
    Monday to sunday or upside-down
    But this always comes.
    Everybody wants to find their half orange, a
    Relationship can make you feel like in a trampolin.
