THANKSGIVING DAY IN VALDELAMATANZA
On Thursday November 29th in Valdelamatanza, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It's very typical in the United States and Canada, and it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.
The celebration commemorates the good harvests of the settlers and farmers and thanking the gods, celebrating with a great feast. The main dish was the turkey. American families celebrate it in family. Besides turkey, other foods like mashed potatoes, green beans, pumpkin pie or apple service, and drinking cider. After all they watch an american football game.
In recent years it's very successful the parade of giant balloons from Macy stores. It is very popular in New York.
In our school, Abby and José Luis showed us a video with all the details of the celebration and we made a poster with our colorful turkeys where we thanked our family, friends and teachers for the daily routine.

THANKSGIVING DAY IN VALDELAMATANZA
El pasado jueves 29 de Noviembre celebramos en Valdelamatanza el Día de Acción de Gracias. Esta fiesta, muy típica en Estados Unidos y Canadá, se celebra el cuarto jueves de Noviembre.
Se conmemora a los colonos y agricultores que agradecían las buenas cosechas a los dioses, celebrándolo con un gran banquete, cuyo plato principal era el pavo. Las familias americanas lo celebran en familia. Además del pavo se sirven otros alimentos como el puré de patatas, las judías verdes, el pastel de calabaza o el de manzana, y se bebe sidra. Después se juntan todos a ver un partido de fútbol americano.
En los últimos años tiene mucho éxito el desfile de globos gigantes de las tiendas Macy. Es muy popular en Nueva York.
En nuestro cole, Abby y José Luis nos mostraron un video con todos los detalles de la celebración e hicimos un mural con nuestros pavos de colores, donde dimos las gracias a nuestros familiares, amigos y profesores por el día a día.
