THANKSGIVING DAY IN THE USA
Every year, on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans join for a day of feasting, football and family. Today’s Thanksgiving celebrations are very different from the original 1621 harvest meal, but it continues to be a day for Americans to come together around the table to share autumn food with their families, and give thanks.
THINK FOR A MOMENT AND TELL US…WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?
Bonfire Night in the UK
BONFIRE NIGHT is a very British celebration. It has its origins in 1605, when a group of plotters wanted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill king James I. The most famous is Guy Fawkes.
Nowadays it is a very colourful festival, with lots of fireworks and bonfires.
Children prepare a “guy” to ask for money in the streets, and to burn it at the top of a bonfire.
People eat baked potatoes and saussages, and sweets and toffe apples.
They go and see a big bonfire display in their towns and villages.
