Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to Norm America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hand winter and could not find enough food to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

Lễ hội Tạ ơn kỷ niệm vụ thu hoạch đầu tiên của những người Hành hương - một nhóm người định cư theo tôn giáo. Vào tháng 9 năm 1620, họ rời Anh đến Mỹ trên một con tàu - chiếc Mayflower. Mùa đông năm đó, khi họ đến, họ rất lạnh và không có đủ thức ăn. Vì vậy, một nửa trong số họ đã chết. Một nhà lãnh đạo người Mỹ bản địa, Squanto, đã đến thăm những người định cư. Người dân của ông đã chỉ cho những người định cư cách trồng ngô và rau cũng như cách săn bắt động vật để làm thực phẩm.
Vào mùa thu năm 1621, sau một vụ mùa bội thu, những người Hành hương đã tổ chức một buổi lễ lớn để tạ ơn Chúa. Họ mời những người Mỹ bản địa. Trong ba ngày, họ đã ăn cùng nhau. Ngoài ra, họ còn chơi trò chơi, hát các bài hát và nhảy múa. Đó là sự khởi đầu của một truyền thống lâu đời.
