Thanksgiving 
Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans 
it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for 
Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation. 
Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 
the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. 
They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough food to eat, so many 
of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to 
eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the 
Native Americans for the fact that they had survived. 
Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of 
the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes 
turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or 
jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. 
Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.
