感恩節(jié)是美國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，在每年11月的第四個星期四。

每逢感恩節(jié)這一天，許多人會滿懷溫情回顧移民歷史。美國舉國上下會熱鬧非常，基督徒按照習俗前往教堂做感恩祈禱，城市鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn)到處都有化裝游行、戲劇表演或體育比賽等。分別了一年的親人們也會從天南海北歸來，一家人團圓，品嘗以“火雞”為主的感恩節(jié)美食。
Thanksgiving is usually celebrated by getting together with lots of family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The meal is held in one family’s home, and it is common for guests to bring drinks, snacks and desserts. Because Thanksgiving is close to Christmas, families can spend one holiday with the mother’s family and the other holiday with the father’s family. University students can invite boyfriends, girlfriends or friends whose families live too far away to come home with them for the holiday.
