Thanksgiving Day is a day of thanks. You give thanks for
all the things you have. Thanksgiving means you go to
Grandma’s house for turkey and dressing and all the
trimmings. You also get to play with your cousins.

I like Thanksgiving for many reasons. 1 like to eat turkey.
Every body comes over. You get out of school for four days.
1 don’t even have to work. 1 get to play.

Thanksgiving is a special holiday. Thanksgiving is a day
when families have a big supper. We have lots of fruit on
Thanksgiving. The best Thanksgiving 1 ever had was when
my brother and my cousins were there.

this feast. We have cake, donuts, cherry pie, salad, cookies,
peaches, apples, bananas, and especially turkey. Cartoons
come on T V.
