   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.
   Every year, in Gainesville, Florida, all entire class celebrate Thanksgiving together. The class dresses up and puts on plays for their families.  After the plays the families share a feast of traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey and pumpkin pie (南瓜派).

   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.
