| Hi Friends! My name is Jason. I am eleven years old and I live in Chicago in the USA. It is November and our special family holiday, Thanksgiving is coming. This festival is on the fourth Thursday of November every year and this year it is on 28th. There is no school on Thanksgiving Day and there is no school on Friday. That’s great! We – our family – get together on Thanksgiving Day and invite our friends. We always have a big dinner. My mum makes a lot of food and I always help her in the kitchen. We eat roast turkey, sweet potatoes (called yam), gravy, corn, pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Before dinner we give thanks God for the things we have. I love this holiday because all my family is together and we have a great time. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! |
