In whatever language, Thanksgiving is an American
holiday celebrated by most of us in much the same way.
Translation:
It’s Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. Most of us will sit down for a feast of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
We may tell stories about a Pilgrim or two who crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower and met some helpful Indians.
And then we’ll watch a little football or take a short nap.
