Feast on Turkey and Good Wishes at Thanksgiving
Four weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets. That was Halloween. In a few weeks, American houses will be red and green and filled with presents for Christmas.
As if all this isn’t enough, on Thursday this week, America will enjoy another festival — Thanksgiving.
Children will have two days off school, shops will close and houses will be filled with families enjoying mountains of food.

Each of them will write a list of things that they are thankful for and place the paper in the basket. The family will read the pieces of paper and take time to thank God and each other for providing them with comfortable and happy lives.
