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.

HALLOWE’EN 2015
Halloween is a festival with a Celtic origin. It is celebrated on the night of 31st October , in English speaking countries (USA, United Kingdom, Canada…) and all over the world. Little children go from door to door asking for candy – that’s the trick or treat. Other activities are custome parties, playing bob for apples, lighting bonfires and listening to horror stories.
Witches, black cats, ghosts, jack o’lanterns, skeletons… These are the typical Hallowe’en characters.
Some of them are in these songs:
