In America, Thanksgiving Day is an important festival. It comes on the fourth Thursday in November. On this day, people walk or drive cars full of flowers on the streets and eat turkey and pumpkin pies at home. They have different kinds of activities to celebrate it. It's a day to remember the history and to show their thanks.
People usually come back home on that day. All the family members get together with some friends. Everyone is glad to see each other. At about four o'clock the family and their friends sit down to dinner. They give thanks for the good things they got, and then start to share the turkey. People always have a big dinner. They usually eat turkey and pumpkin pies. After dinner, no one go away and they all sit around and talk, play word games, or tell jokes（笑话）until it is time to go to sleep. It is always difficult to leave because Thanksgiving Day is one of the few days for family get-together around the year.
