Thanksgiving Day 2015

Thanksgiving Day, one of my favorite holidays, is almost here! We all know this day is the perfect time to give thanks to the Lord for what we have: family, freedom, health and material blessings. But, Thanksgiving is also an excellent opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to all those people who stand by us through both our joys and sufferings for all their support, love, guidance and more.

Another good news is we have a four-day weekend coming up! So, forget about work, visit your family and friends, enjoy watching the Macy’s parade, sharing a wonderful meal, and watching movies.

This year, in order to get in the Thanksgiving spirit, I’ve decorated the kitchen with colorful food items and adorned the walls with imprints of leaves, and flowers. Also, I thought it was a good idea to hollow out pumpkins and use them as candle holders. Furthermore, I’ve learned some Thanksgiving prayers, made a playlist of music, and read some “funny” jokes, like:
“Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Harry.
Harry who?
Harry up, I’m hungry!”

I’ve even bought a book about Thanksgiving Day in America. I think it’s very interesting. Thanksgiving has a rich history, and in many ways, it is the history of America. If you would like to really learn more about it, read our article “Thanksgiving Day – Are You Ready For an Annual Food Coma?” or ask one of our history tutors!

And the most important: this year I am going to cook my very first turkey. I want to try the oven bag method, and I’d really appreciate it if you could give me some advice 😉

I hope this Thanksgiving will be a special day for all of our tutors and students!

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
