November is a wonderful time of the year in the United States. Much of the U.S is enjoying brisk, cold weather and possibly even snow by now. One of the biggest holidays is in this month, Thanksgiving. On this national holiday the families get together on the 4th Thursday of the month to give thanks to God for all the blessings received during the past year.
Traditionally, it is "turkey day." The main menu will consist of roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, candied yams, and of course, pumpkin pie. The children will be in front of the TV early to watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. After that comes NFL football and after the game, the Thanksgiving dinner, generally served in the early afternoon. This is definitely not a day to be on a diet!
So, if you are new to the U.S., be sure to take part in this wonderful holiday. It is a good way to become part of your new country's traditions.
