英语感恩节手抄报图片大全:感恩节英语介绍
Thanksgiving Day, as celebrated in North America, is a time to gather with
family and friends to give thanks for the many blessings enjoyed by these
nations and their citizens. However, to many people, its meaning is lost. It has
become simply another day for huge meals, dinner parties, get-togethers or
reunions. What does Thanksgiving mean to you?
Turkey dinners, cranberries, candied yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes,
pumpkin pie and family gatherings—these are all commonly associated with most
Americans' and Canadians' yearly celebration of giving thanks—Thanksgiving
Day!
In the United States, Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November.
In Canada, it is the second Monday in October. On this holiday, a Thanksgiving
meal is prepared with all the trimmings; families gather together and talk,
while others watch a game or a parade filled with pilgrims, Indians and other
colonial figures. Some families may even have their own yearly Thanksgiving
traditions.
What comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving? Do you picture a time of
thankfulness towards God—or is it merely one of eating, partying or watching
football?
Sadly, the latter is what Thanksgiving has become to most. They have
forgotten why the day was established. Its meaning has slowly deteriorated, and
is now almost completely lost under a cloud of media hype, sales pitches,
marketing tactics and blitz commercialism.
While many are familiar with the traditional representation of the original
Thanksgiving, it is helpful to examine the purpose for which it was first
celebrated. By doing this, the day's meaning will be firmly established.
