About Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday where families get together and have a big meal (which usually includes a turkey). Before eating, each person will usually say several things that they are thankful for.

感恩节是家庭团聚和一起吃大餐的节日（通常有一只火鸡）。在吃东西之前，每个人通常要说一些他们感恩的事情。

For example "I am thankful for my health, family, and friends."

例如，“感谢我的朋友，家庭和健康”。
