Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for Thanksgiving is a simple reflection on what we have and what we can be thankful for, whether in a spiritual or material context. With the experiences lived during the last months of the pandemic, it seems that we appreciate more the simple things, the family that we have close to us, our friends, whom we could not see for a long time. A good celebration of life !
How is Thanksgiving celebrated?
Although it sounds to all of us that the turkey is the main protagonist of this day, there are other events that take place on this day:
Parade organized by Macy's
Macy's – the largest shopping mall in the US – organizes a grand parade down Broadway Avenue in Manhattan, which lasts from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
Floats, music bands, cheerleaders, giant helium balloons in the form of animated characters and millions of people come together to celebrate Thanksgiving Day through the streets of New York.
Televisions broadcast the parade so that the whole country can witness the great national party live.
Shopping day
It is the day to buy everything you need to prepare the big dinner. And it is that the establishments open only in the morning, so the Americans must make sure that they do not lack for anything.
Pardon the president's turkey
A ceremony takes place – followed by many North Americans – in which the President of the United States spares one or two turkeys.
Football
Added to all this is the National Football League, which organizes some American football games that day for families to get together while the turkey is cooked and enjoy a day of sports.
roast turkey
There is no Thanksgiving dinner without roast turkey. Of course, you should start cooking in the oven at least 5 hours in advance.
At the table you cannot miss the cranberry sauce, the corn filling, the green bean stew, the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie.
