Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. The first thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621 in America by the Pilgrims. The people were miserable the first year and they had nothing to eat. Then the Native Americans helped them to survive.

Today Thanksgiving is celebrated with the whole family having dinner together. Some things they eat are mashed potatoes, corn pudding, pumpkin pie and green beans.

The day after Thanksgiving is called "Black Friday". Almost all people do some shopping for Christmas because there are granted a lot of discounts. The sales on this day are of course very good.
The shops open very early and a lot of people are waiting, even early in the morning. When the shop opens, all the people try to get in - this is called "Doorbusters".
