Thanksgiving Day
by Eugenia Berezniak
October 13th is Thanksgiving Day. This holiday is really popular in Canada and United States. We see season's decorations very specific to Thanksgiving Day in the stores and the homes of people. Colourful leaves, pumpkins and scarecrows look very warm and everybody feels as if a part of fall has come to their homes.
Thanksgiving is a family day. People have turkey dinner and pumpkin pie. They thank God for his blessings. They thank each other for the goods things they have done. It's really a nice tradition, because we all get to thank the people we want to. I would like to thank my teacher for helping us.
