Every year the 4th Thursday of November is Thanksgiving Day. On Thanksgiving, many people go home to eat dinner with their family members. Thanksgiving food is: turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and so on. People also like to watch TV together. In the morning they can watch the Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade. In the afternoon they can watch American football games. After Thanksgiving it&#8217;s Black Friday. A crazy shopping month starts from this day.
