28th November, Thanksgiving Day

A Bountiful Thanksgiving Tradition


'Tucked between the two monster sized holidays of Halloween and Christmas, Thanksgiving receives far less attention. But Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. It is a time to kick back and relax, watch a football game or go to a movie, and enjoy a huge feast. It's also time for us to give thanks to our God, for the things he has bestowed upon us and upon this great nation. There is no nation in the world that has more to be thankful for than us'.

Hi teacher we're Vicente, Raúl and Ricardo, we like the story, it's interesting and you learn a lot.
It`s curious to know the beginning of this tradition. This story is beautiful beacuse two different cultures shared food and they got
on well.

Hello, we're Natalia and Clara from 3A.
In fact, we don't really like American traditions to becomes ours. One example is Halloween. However, We think it's a good idea to celebrate one day to be thankful for our things because there are a lot of people that have got nothing and we've got food, warm water, clothes, house and education.
In Spain we eat turkey once a year when it's Christmas because in Lent we cannot eat meat. We love it but we prefer chicken as well.
In conclussion, we prefer Spain.
Bye bye <3

Hello, we´re Cristina and Guillermo from 3ºESO.
We love turkey! Spanish people sometimes eat it, but we don't. It isn´t a Spanish tradition; it´s more common to eat roast meat, soup...
We think this American tradition is OK, but for us,it hasn´t got much sense. For example, for American people, Easter is strange as well.
It's another way to please to God for the things which he has done for us.
We didn't know it is in November, we thought it was in December, coinciding with Christmas; but we took the wrong.
It's a bit strange because it's too near of Christmas and the Christmas´ spirit it isn´t the same, but they also are lucky, they don't have to go to work.
This is our opinion :-)

Hi! We are Antonio and Manuel. From our point of view Thanksgiving day is a very interesting tradition and a wonderful day to be with our family, but in Spain it isn't so common to celebrate it. What a pity!
Bye!
