Happy Thanksgiving!

Queridos amigos :

We have snow! Yesterday it snowed. It is very cold. The temperature today is -12 C. Do you have snow?  It is cold, but we are very happy. We have classes on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we do not have classes. We will celebrate Thanksgiving with our families.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday. It is the fourth Thursday of November. It is a day that we say “Thank you.” We say thanks to God, thanks to families and thanks to friends. Many of us will travel. We will travel in airplanes or cars to visit grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and others. We will eat. We like to eat.

    Many persons eat turkey for Thanksgiving. With the turkey we eat potatoes, corn and other vegetables, bread, and cranberries. Do you have cranberries in Spain? For dessert we eat pumpkin pie. It is delicious!!!!! Many persons eat lots of food and then they watch American football on television. Do you like American football?

      BLACK FRIDAY

Thanksgiving is also when many people start to prepare for Christmas. Many stores have bargains and special prices. It is a new tradition to go to the stores on Friday after Thanksgiving very, very early in the morning. The good prices are at 4:00!!! We call this Friday “Black Friday” because the stores sell many things. They earn money. It is a crazy tradition.

       We are happy that you are writing to us. We will write to you soon. We will write after we return from Thanksgiving vacation.
