    What do you already know about Thanksgiving? (O que você já sabe sobre o tema?)

    What is Thanksgiving?
    Thanksgiving (or Thanksgiving Day) is a holiday that is
    celebrated both in Canada and in the U.S.A. It has been a
    holiday in many places in Canada since 1957 and in all of
    the American states since 1863. In Canada it is celebrated
    on the second Monday in October, while in the U.S. it is
    celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. No one is
    sure exactly when the first Thanksgiving was celebrated,
    but many Americans think it was in 1621 – in a small town
    called Plymouth. It was celebrated by a small group of people from England
    called „Pilgrims‟. It was celebrated because one of the Native American people
    (people who first lived in North America) taught them how to catch fish and how
    to grow corn. This man‟s name was Squanto. The Pilgrims were very thankful for this
    help. Without it, many more Pilgrims might have died from hunger. The first
    Thanksgiving celebration lasted for three days and it included fifty English men,
    women and children and about ninety Native Americans. Afterwards,
    Thanksgiving became more and more popular in the United States until it finally
    became a national holiday. In both Canada and the U.S., turkey is the main part
    of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Other foods commonly eaten include stuffing
    and mashed potatoes with gravy, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. According
    to Wikipedia, “Americans eat more food on Thanksgiving than on any other day of
    the year.” Along with Christmas and New Year‟s Day, Thanksgiving is one of the
    three major holiday celebrations of the year. According to usnews.com, 46.3
    million Americans will travel fifty miles or more to be with friends and family to eat
    Thanksgiving dinner.
