Hey everybody, Alisha here. Today we are going to talk about Thanksgiving and some Thanksgiving
-
related vocabulary words. So let's get started.
-
The first word is just Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a national holiday in America.
-
It might be holiday in your country as well. You might have something similar to Thanksgiving.
-
Basically it's a holiday which is well known for eating Turkey and large, large quantities
-
of other foods which are really hearty. A lot of families chose to get together. People
-
come from all over the country to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal with their family members
-
and friends in some cases. Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of every November, right?
-
Next is the word Turkey. Turkey is a big bird which we almost I would
-
say exclusively eat at Thanksgiving. It's delicious. It makes you sleep if you eat a
-
lot of it. Here is a picture of President Obama pardoning a Turkey. Why do we do this?
-
Look at – his daughter is in the background facepalming. Oh that's funny. So the president
-
pardons a turkey every Thanksgiving to, I guess show the Turkey that it's not going
-
to be slaughtered. All of its wrong doings are forgiven. And my favorite Thanksgiving
-
food is Turkey.
-
The next word is cornucopia. This is something that you only really see around Thanksgiving
-
time. It looks kind of like a horn, it's a horn-shaped thing and it usually has fresh
-
fruits and maybe vegetables inside. According to this, it says it's a symbol of plenty.
-
So whatever it is full of, it's usually just kind of overflowing with that. It's
-
to signify that you have a lot of you know food. You have enough of something. So that's
-
something you might see around Thanksgiving time. My mom puts out a Cornucopia of vegetables
-
and fruits every year at Thanksgiving dinner.
-
Another good word to know is Cranberry sauce. This is a really, really popular dish at Thanksgiving.
-
It's more of a dessert in my mind anyway. Its jelly that's made of cranberries and
-
it's really sweet. Some people like to top it with whipped cream. Different families
-
have different recipes. It's pretty well known and it goes really well with Turkey.
-
So give it a try if you see it. Cranberry sauce is my brother's favorite Thanksgiving
-
dish.
-
Pilgrim is the next word. Pilgrim is a word that refers to the people who came to what
-
is now America, what is now the United States, from England and you might have seen historical
-
pictures of them. People like to make fun of the fact that they had buckles on their
-
hats. Big pointy black hat and a lot of the pictures in children's history books. Pilgrims
-
ate Thanksgiving dinner with the Native American population for the first Thanksgiving. That's
-
how the holiday got started actually.
-
And that's the end. Thank you for joining us about Thanksgiving. I hope that you enjoyed
-
a Thanksgiving sometime. No I don't. If you do, great. If you don't whatever, I
-
don't know. So those are some words that you might be able to use if you find yourself
-
in a Thanksgiving dinner some day. I hope you enjoyed, happy Thanksgiving.
