Thanksgiving Week

It was a great week with joy, laughter, and families gathered. I spended my week doing projects and essays and finished by wednesday. And on thursday and Friday I had already finished with my projects. On thursday I celebrated it with my family by watching movies such as elf and home alone. Later that evening we waited for the turkey to be cooked and we ate dinner and we gave thanks. After we ate dinner we headed out to black friday at the mall and we bought lots of clothing and electronics. A CTR experience was when an elder wanted to get a television and I got the last one so instead I gave up the television and gave it to him. A book I read was Night and it was about the holocaust. I met family members that live in San Francisco and we spend the thanksgiving with them. On Friday we got some rest and later head to the mall again to go and see if there are better deals than last night.

Thanksgiving,

Every 4 Thursday in November, celebrated in Canada and the united states of america. Americans gather for a day of giving thanks and feasting. Everyone celebrates it differently based on religion. It is important to Americans because it celebrates the time when the pilgrims shared food and kindness with the native Americans rather than fighting. The first thanksgiving ever hosted was in the year 1621. The holiday thanksgiving was not a national holiday till the 19th century. My family and I always celebrate thanksgiving and we are thankful for so many things. First and foremost and thankful for me being health, having a free education, my friends, family.I am also thankful for all the materials I have, for the meals my parents provide for me. I am thankful for the house I live in also.
