Thanksgiving [サンクスギビング・収穫感謝祭]

My favorite American holiday is Thanksgiving. Most people have a big dinner with their family. Popular foods at Thanksgiving are turkey, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberries, and dessert pies. A lot of people watch American Football on TV or play with their kids outside.

At Thanksgiving we have a chance to think about the things we are thankful to have. I'm thankful for my family, my friends, my education, good food, and my home. What are you thankful for?

I've read that people are happier when they think about what they're thankful for. I think it's good idea to make a list and read it every morning. That way we start our day off well. It's easy to have a good day when you focus on the things you do have.
