Happy Thanksgiving











Do you know Thanksgiving Day?
This festival may not be famous in Japan, but it has important meaning for Northern American people. We would like to talk about the Thanksgiving Day.
◆About Thanksgiving
I am going to tell you about this festival briefly. It is a traditional North American holiday, which is a form of harvest festival. This festival is mainly held in Canada, USA. Recently however many countries began to celebrate it like in Korea, India. It is similar to Obon in Japan.
All of the family members gather in their homes for this festival.
◆Date of Festivsal
It is different from country to country.
In USA→On the fourth Thursday of 11
In Canada→On the second Monday of 10.
Do you know why it is held in Canada earlier than USA? Because the times of harvesting in Canada comes before USA. That is interesting!
