Thanksgiving Day is a traditional national holiday in the USA and some other English speaking countries. It has become a tradition with Americans to get together on this day. As a rule, all the members of the family have a great holiday dinner in one house. The Americans, especially children, like this holiday very much because they eat roast turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and many other tasty things.
The story of this national holiday is the following. Thanksgiving was first celebrated in 1621 when the first people from England came to America. They came on the ship called The Mayflower and landed at the Eastern coast of America in November.
That winter was very cold, and more than half of the English settlers died of cold and hunger. The native people, the Indians, came to help the English. They gave them some corn, which the settlers planted in spring. They worked hard to grow rich crops. And in Autumn they gathered a good crop. So they decided to thank the Indians and to hold a harvest festival. The Indians were invited to the festival, and they were heartily thanked by the English.
There was a roast turkey, cranberry sauce and many other tasty things on the dinner table.
Since that time, the fourth Thursday of November has been Thanksgiving Day. And the roast turkey has become a traditional national dish. On this day Americans enjoy their holiday dinner, thank each other and wish each other a happy Thanksgiving.
Moscow is my native city and I have been living here for more than 20 years. I have been to many cities, but Moscow will always be in my heart. Moscow is the capital of the Russian Federation and the administrative center of the Moscow region, it is also the largest Russian city with over 12 million residents. Moscow is located on the Moskva River in the European part of the country. Most historians agree that this river gave its name to the city. The Moscow Metro is considered to be one of the most beautiful underground systems in the world. Indeed, many of the stations have beautiful murals on the walls. There are many theaters, monuments, parks, squares and theaters in Moscow. For example, there are more than 150 theaters that produce shows of various genres (the Taganka Theater, Lenkom Theatre, Sovremennik Theater). Moscow offers an exciting nightlife. A lot of the clubs open their doors for people who want to relax and dance all night.
