火雞盛宴和感恩節(jié)的祝福
四周前美國的孩子打扮成魔鬼，四處要糖吃。這就是萬圣節(jié)。幾周之后就是圣誕節(jié)，美國的房子都會染成紅色和綠色，里面充滿了禮物。
似乎這一切還不夠，這周的星期二， 美國 人還會慶祝另外一個節(jié)日——感恩節(jié)。
孩子們有兩天不上課，商店歇業(yè)，房子里面家人喜歡的食物堆成了山。
每年在Gainesville, 佛羅里達(dá)，整個一個班會一起慶祝感恩節(jié)。整個班會打扮起來，為家人表演劇目。劇目過后一家人分享一頓傳統(tǒng)的感恩節(jié)美食，比如火雞和南瓜餅。
Dean Foster, 一個11歲的男孩愿意加入這次慶祝。他說：“我喜歡感恩節(jié)，因為不用上學(xué)，有很多好吃的，還有快樂的家庭聚會?！?BR> 他9 歲的弟弟Ben 說，感恩節(jié)好的地方，就是它結(jié)束時就是圣誕節(jié)開始的時候。
但是在食物和花掉的大筆的錢背后有另一層寓意。周二晚上，Dean 和Ben的家人會做一個籃子，吃晚飯的時候把它放在桌子上。
每個人會把他們要感謝的東西列在一張單子上，放在籃子里。一家人會讀出每一張單子上寫的內(nèi)容，花時間感謝上帝，感謝彼此給予這樣舒適幸福的生活。
感恩節(jié)是一具傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，起源于第一批朝圣者來到美洲開始新生活的時候。艱苦的第一年后，在秋天取得了大豐收。他們舉行了盛宴，并邀請了當(dāng)?shù)氐耐林〉诎踩艘黄鸶兄x上帝給予他們充足的食物。
很多國家慶祝感恩節(jié)，時間經(jīng)常是在莊稼成熟，收割完畢準(zhǔn)備過冬之后。
Feast on Turkey and Good Wishes at Thanksgiving
Four weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets. That was Halloween In a few weeks American houses will be red and green and filled with presents, for Christmas.
As if all this isn’t enough, on Thursday this week, America will enjoy another festival—Thanksgiving.
Children will have two days off school, shops will close and houses will be filled with families enjoying mountains of food.
Every year, in Gainesville, Florida, an entire class celebrate Thanksgiving together. The class dresses up and puts on plays for their families, After the plays the families share a feast of traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey and pumpkin pie.
Dean Foster, an 11yearold boy will take part in this celebration. He said: “I love Thanksgiving because it means time off school, lots of nice food and a happy family.”
His brother Ben, nine, said: “The best thing about Thanksgiving, is that when it is finished, it is time to start Christmas.”
But behind the food and the large amount of money spent there is another message. On Thursday evening. Dean and Ben’s family will make a basket and put it on the table as they eat their evening meal.
Each of them will write a list of things that they are thankful for and place the paper in the basket. The family will read the pieces of paper and take time to thank God and each other for providing them with comfortable and happy lives.
Thanksgiving is a traditional festival that started in 1621, when the first pilgrims arrived in the US to start a new life. After a hard year, they had a big autumn harvest. They held a feast and invited the native American Indians along to thank God for giving them enough food.
Many countries celebrate Thanksgiving. They often fall after the fields have been harvested and the crops collected for winter.
