On the fourth Thursday in November, Americans celebrate the festival of Thanksgiving. This festival is a time when the family come together for a meal and give thanks to God for the blessings they have received. The first Thanksgiving festival was celebrated by the early American settlers who gave thanks to God for their good harvest.
In America, Thanksgiving is a family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family make a special effort to get together. The feast(节日)is always on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.
The Thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey, which was the food for the first Thanksgiving. The table is filled with fruits, walnuts(胡桃)and many kinds of vegetables. For dessert (甜点)the main choice is usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.
On Thanksgiving morning there are sporting events and parades (游行) in many cities to mark the day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4 o’clock. The mother will prepare the meal and the father will carve(切) the turkey. He will preside(主持)at the head of the tble. The meal will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal there is plenty of food for everyone present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is over, some will help with the dishes and others will return to the living room to talk or watch television.
In many ways the festival of Thanksgiving is similar to the Chinese festival of Mid-Autumm Day. It is a time for the family to get together for dinner.
