Thanksgiving

We need to have some history of Thanksgiving in order to understand why thanksgiving is the way it is and why my family is not fond of the holiday. The Pilgrims, who had buckles on their hats and pants around their ankles, started this holiday we call Thanksgiving. They started it to have something to do on the last Thursday in November since football had not been invented during that time frame. At first, it was just a small gathering of Pilgrims and Indians and the sharing of a small meal…

Thanksgiving is one of my most treasured holidays. While there are some constants in the way thanksgiving is observed by Americans, it can mean different things to different people. In my family, Thanksgiving is a day to gather with those we love, to join together in a huge feast, give thanks for all that we have been blessed with throughout the year, watch football, and listen to the men talk about the big buck that got away during their morning hunt. My mother makes the turkey, the…

I determined that the three things I am most thankful for being first, family. I chose this because when I am in need they…

Thanksgiving is around the corner! It’s the time to have a feast and celebrate but, we also should be thankful. Thanksgiving isn’t always about the food and vacation, it’s about being thankful.

We have Thanksgiving Day in Vietnam, so I didn’t surprise until I heard some people called it “turkey day”. At school, other students talked about turkey, I got some friends asked if I was going to have turkey for Thanksgiving dinner. I shake my head, I didn’t understand what they meant. I wondered how a turkey could represent for Thanksgiving and why people eat turkey on the holiday night. It didn’t make any sense to me. Then now I know that is one of the traditions here that has been continued…

By taking the opportunity this Thanksgiving to thank your customers, you…
