Thanksgiving

Did you
know…

Thanksgiving is always celebrated on the fourth
Thursday of November?

             In Canada, Thanksgiving is in
October?

The turkey, the cornucopia, the corn or the
pumpkin are the symbols of this celebration?

People give thnks for everything good in their
lives?

Every year the President of the united States
pardons the lives of two turkeys, one of which is named the National
Thanksgiving turkey?

Every year there’s a spectacular parade in many
American cities like New York or Chicago?

THE PILGRIMS

And.... a great song for the day!!!
