Our Vacation
Every year we go to Florida. We like to go to the beach. My favorite beach is called Emerson
Beach. It is very long, with soft sand and palm trees. It is very beautiful. I like to make
sandcastles and watch the sailboats go by. Sometimes there are dolphins and whales in the
water! Every morning, we look for shells in the sand. I found fifteen big shells last year. I put
them in a special place in my room. This year I want to learn to surf. It is hard to surf, but so
much fun! My sister is a good surfer. She says that she can teach me. I hope I can do it!

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated predominantly in North America, and it possesses
a different meaning in each of the countries where it's acknowledged. In the United
States, Thanksgiving is a federal holiday (meaning all government employees and most
private employees are given a day off of work), and always takes places on the Fourth
Thursday in November, regardless of the date. The holiday signifies the immense
progress made by pilgrims, or some of the first travelers to North America, at Plymouth
Plantation circa 1621. It was at this time that the hungry and weary Pilgrims were
taught (by Native Americans) how to grow and produce food on North America's
unique terrain. Once they'd grown (and caught) an abundance of food, the Pilgrims
were expectedly thankful, and they celebrated alongside the Native Americans who
provided them with such valuable assistance. President Abraham Lincoln initiated the
contemporary practice of Thanksgiving by calling for a "day of Thanksgiving" during
one of his Civil War addresses. In America today, Thanksgiving remains firmly
engrained in its historical roots, and is widely considered to be a day for giving thanks
for good food, good times, and family. Thanksgiving dinner generally consists of turkey,
mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, gravy, and ample desserts. To be sure, indulging
in abundance is a cornerstone of the holiday, as doing so could only be possible if one
possesses abundance.
