1. What’s the significance?
Thanksgiving is a time to
be thankful of what you
have, such as family, a
home, friends, and food to
eat. At the meal of
thanksgiving, it is normal
to say what you're
thankful for.

2. For thanksgiving, the family gathers together in one house. Usually, there is one celebration
for the entire family (including aunts, cousins, and other family members). There is one big
table decorated with leaves, pumpkins, and autumn decorations.
Thanksgiving is a special day of
the year where family and close
friends can enjoy spending time
together, and be grateful for each
other.

3. The History of Thanksgiving
In late fall, 1621, a colony of
European people who were living in
America had no food.
Then, a Native American named Squanto helped the
Europeans by teaching them how to plant corn, and giving
them food for the winter ahead.

church leaders in New England up until 1682, and then

in America on November 26, 1789

12. Black Friday
Black Friday is a day when
stores sell stuff for really cheap.
These very cheap prices have
people waiting outside in tents
and people trample others to get
good deals. It kind of looks like
this.
