4. 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 a 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. According to tradition, the person who gets the wishbone must break it and make a wish. Of course, you needn’t have turkey at Thanksgiving lobster and crab 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 to by 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 holiday working in soup kitchen which distribute free food to the poor and homeless.
