Foshan High Light greet you happy Thanksgiving Day 2022

In the United States, like the Spring Festival in China, on #thanksgivingDay, thousands of people, no matter how busy they are, have to reunite with their families and enjoy a sumptuous festive dinner together.

The Thanksgiving holiday is also the most stressful time for American airlines. The planes are almost full, and there are often flight delays. But in order to spend the festival with their families, people are probably also willing.

Every Thanksgiving Day, every family in the United States eats turkey. Turkey has become a symbol of Thanksgiving, and they usually eat traditional dishes such as zucchini, creamed onions, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and more.

In addition, people will go to the church to pray thanksgiving according to the custom, costume parades, drama performances and sports competitions are held everywhere in urban and rural cities and towns, and schools and shops are also closed as required. The children also imitated the appearance of the Indians and put on bizarre costumes, painted faces or put on masks to sing and blow trumpets on the street. Families scattered in other places will also go home for the holidays. The whole family will sit together, eat delicious turkey, and thank their families. After Thanksgiving, the school asks students to draw a picture of Thanksgiving, and most students draw a picture of a turkey.

At the same time, hospitable Americans can't forget to invite friends, bachelors or people far away from home to celebrate the festival.

Since the 18th century, there has been a custom in the United States to send a basket of food to poor families. At that time, a group of young women wanted to choose a day of the year to do good deeds, and they thought that Thanksgiving was the most appropriate day. So when Thanksgiving comes, they pack a basket full of food and deliver it to the poor. This incident was rumored far and wide, and soon many people followed their example. No matter who they meet, they will say, "Thank you!"

Americans are also used to call the Friday after Thanksgiving "#BlackFriday". On this day, various stores in the United States will carry out discount sales of goods, which has intensified in recent years, and some merchants even advance the discount day to Thanksgiving Day, which sets off a shopping frenzy in the United States every year.
