Hi folks,
In this link, you can watch Lynnae's presentation about Thanksgiving, and here you can have a look at the pros and cons of Thanksgiving but I thought it would be a good idea to include a glossary of terms for you to understand Thanksgiving better:
Puritans : Group of people who believed in God, but were protestants, which means they were against Catholics and against King James I. They got on board a ship : the Mayflower and arrived in the city of Plymouth where they decided to establish the colony of New England. They became friends with the Indians there and prepared food for them because they had taught them to survive.
Mayflower : Name of the ship where the Puritans got on when they decided to leave England and go to New York. A lot of people died in the ship because of the illnesses.
Plymouth : The city in Massachusetts where the Puritans arrived.
King James I : An unpopular Catholic King who was a Catholic and was against the Protestants. He made the Puritans leave England.
Indians / native Americans : The original inhabitants of America (and Plymouth). They taught Puritans to survive.
Squanto : The leader of the Indians.
2) Thanksgiving food
Turducken (turkey + duck+ Pumpkin pie
chicken)
Green bean casserole Sweet potato
Corn pudding Cranberry sauce
Turkey cookies
Black Friday : It is the day after Thanksgiving when stores and shops offer such incredible knock-downs that some people are willing to sleep on the street the previous day or fight to get the most discounted television
Well, I hope you will have liked my glossary. Have a happy 'Thanksgiving weekend'.
