Time to give thanks
When it comes to Thanksgiving, turkey may be the first thing that comes to mind.It’s the right picture, but it’s not complete.
Celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year, Thanksgiving Day is a time for thanksgiving and feasts.It’s about expressing your gratitude to the important people and all the good things in your life.
Americans celebrate Thanksgiving with much warmth and keep many traditional customs.Here we introduce two of the rules Americans typically follow on this day.
1.Time for prayers and paying back
Thanksgiving Day has been associated with prayers in church and in homes for centuries.Attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on Thanksgiving Day.The churches provide worship (礼拜) services and organize special events for the occasion.
Before Thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank God for his kindness and the gifts he has bestowed upon (给予) them in the form of friends and family.
Some people also do voluntary community work on this day, as a way of paying back.
2.Family reunions and showing gratitude
Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving.Distances don’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away.
