Dear all,
in the forum with student from Albany university I found out much interesting information on the Thanksgiving's day. To be honest, I must admit I didn't know so much on this subject before reading Albany's students comments.
I discovered that Americans of all religions celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. Children do not go to school, and most business close for three days. People in Canada also celebrate Thanksgiving, but they celebrate it on the second Monday in October. Thanksgiving is a special day for families, and people travel great distances to be with their families for this occasion.

A traditional Thanksgiving
Today the traditional thanksgiving meal is similar to the first. People eat roast turkey with cranberry sauce, potatoes, corn and pumpkin pie. Vegetarians don’t eat meat, but they still celebrate Thanksgiving with other foods, such as soya products, rice, fruit, vegetable and big salads. Many charity organizations prepare a free meal for the poor people in their own town or city.
New York City celebrates with Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Macy’s department store organised its first parade in 1924. This parade is very famous, and more than two million people go to see it every year.
