Happy Thanksgiving
Every year, the Americans in our conversation groups are asked to describe the history and traditions of our holiday, Thanksgiving.
We all have a slightly different story to tell. In different parts of the country, the holiday is celebrated with different types of food and in different ways. It also depends on what we were taught in school about the history of this holiday.
Some families watch football on TV, some visit with family and friends. Some families eat the same food every year and some families experiment with new dishes. Each family has their distinct traditions.
If you come to the groups before Thanksgiving, don't forget to ask several different people about their traditions.
You might find this "tongue in cheek" (not serious) article about the holiday that was published in the NY Times a few years ago. It was written by the late Art Buchwald.
