Thanksgiving Day is a holiday that Americans celebrate the honor of everything the country offered to their ancestors, who were among the first immigrants to the U.S. when they first came to America, they saw that there were enough food and opportunity for everyone. They were even helped by the Indians who taught them how to grow all kinds of new vegetables, such as corn and yams, or sweet potatoes.
On Thanksgiving Day, it’s traditional to eat a big meal together. The Americans eat food that was found here by their ancestors. They usually eat turkey with sweet potatoes, Indian corn bread, and have pumpkin pie for dessert. Every Thanksgiving Day, a giant parade is held by one of the most famous department stores in New York. It’s an yearly event. And at the end of the parade, children can even see Santa Claus, who is visiting from the North Pole. Santa Claus is invited to remind children and parents that Christmas is not far away.
