Thanksgiving is a very special holiday that happens in the fall. It is a time when we say “thank you” for all the wonderful things in our lives. Many families and friends gather together to share a big, yummy meal!
Eating turkey and mashed potatoes is a big part of Thanksgiving. Some people also love sweet pumpkin pie and crunchy corn! We take turns talking about the things that make us happy, like our families, our pets, and our kind friends. On Thanksgiving, we remember to be kind and share what we have with others.
