Audio script:
Thanksgiving (also called Turkey Day) is a seasonal holiday held annually to give thanks to God for successful harvests. In the USA the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October because the harvest there generally ends earlier.
Thanksgiving is traditionally celebrated with a feast among family and friends. Not only adults but children take part in the food preparation. Traditional foods are turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. After the feast people often do some other activities. Some like to go for a walk. Some take naps. Others play board or card games together. A lot of people take this opportunity to help the less fortunate. They volunteer to cook and serve food to homeless people, spend time with sick people in hospitals or help a needy family.



 
HOI MUA - PHU YEN

People of ethnic minorities in Phu Yen celebrate Hoi Mua Festival every March. It is held to thank the Rice God for the crop, and to pray for better crops in the future. Families also worship their ancestors and parents on this occasion. Villagers voluntarily contribute money and other things to celebrate the festival. In this festival monks are invited to preach. People play drums, sing songs and dance. They also drink rice wine through a long thin bamboo tube (straw). There are some other activities such as cultural shows, buffalo races, and traditional games. The festive atmosphere is felt around all the villages.
