介绍美国感恩节的英语作文(通用20篇)

每逢感恩节这一天，美国举国上下热闹非常，家家户户都要吃火鸡，他们通常还吃一些传统的菜肴，例如西葫芦、奶油洋葱、土豆泥、番瓜派等等。每家的家庭成员总是力争从天南海北归来，一家人团团围坐在一起，大嚼美味火鸡，畅谈往事，这怎不使人感到分外亲切、温暖。

同时，城乡市镇到处举行化装游行、戏剧表演和体育比赛等，学校和商店也都按规定放假体息。孩子们还模仿当年印第安人的模样穿上稀奇古怪的服装，画上脸谱或戴上面具到街上唱歌、吹喇叭。当天教堂里的人也格外多，按习俗人们在这里都要做感恩祈祷。

Be grateful for friends

It is a celebrating day. I got in touch with Michael whom I have been losing contact for one year.

It is really magic. I was searching online aimlessly yesterday when an idea struck me suddenly: since Ben can find out my secret by keying in my name in the search engines, why cant I do so, either?

I intended to find out something about Ben in revenge in the first place, but soon extend my name list to a wider category. It was then that I recalled Michael suddenly.

We have lost contact since our last correspondence in my senior 3. He mentioned to me in his last letter that he was preparing for going to UK to further his education. I, shamefully, was too busy to reply his mail then. When I was recommended to ZJU and won the final freedom, I thought he had already been in UK so I had no idea where to write him.

I used to think that we would never meet again. However, when I browsed the entries about him, I found out excitedly that he is still in P.R.C.!!

Without a moment hesitation, I ran upstairs to my dorm and found out my old address book. Thank goodness, his home no was still there.

After 3 times calling with no answer replies, I eventually got him on the phone. He was more surprised than I could imagine that when I asked for his hp no he was too nervous to remember it.

Life is enjoyable in moments such like this. Old friends meet again surprisingly, on a road of their own ways to their dreams. They look at the face of each other, and recognize the old pal. It is such moment that makes me feel grateful to life: whenever I set off for a new destination, I see I have friends in the same direction, with whom I wont feel alone any more.

今天晚上英语老师组织了一场感恩节的活动，我看到了汶川地震的视频，好多孩子都失去了亲人，我都感动得哭下来了，我觉得那些孩子好可怜呀！我还听到一位老师讲了感恩的心这首歌的来源，是一个小女孩从小和她的妈妈相依为命，有一天，很晚很晚了，她妈妈还没回家，那个小女孩便按着妈妈以前回来的路去寻找她，当她正要过马路的时候，发现妈妈手里拿着一块年糕躺在地上，她妈妈已经离开人世了，但妈妈脸上露着微笑，眼睛还没有闭起来，那个小女孩想，可能是妈妈怕她失去活下来的信心才没有闭起双眼，从而激励她更好地生活下去！小女孩就用手语创作了感恩的心，一遍遍地比划着唱着。

感恩节还有个活动，就是给爷爷奶奶，爸爸妈妈搽护手霜，看看他们手上有没有皱纹，摸摸他们的手，感受他们对孩子的付出！

我们还看了一个儿子对待父亲的视频，他的母亲早逝，是父亲一个人把他拉扯大的，那个儿子一直在外忙于工作，想给父亲买一套有暖气舒适的房子，但是那个时候钱很难挣，所以他就把标准降低为给父亲买个轮椅，带他到外看看阳光晒晒太阳，感受太阳的温暖，但是这笔钱也很难挣，后来他就在外想方设法地赚钱，最后他终于发财了，事业有成了，想回家看看父亲，可是父亲已经去世了，儿子看到父亲床边的遗书，上面写着，我知道你工作忙，没时间陪我，前几天我觉得呼吸困难，想告诉你，但怕影响你工作，就一直拖着———，儿子哭着说只顾着自己的人是垃圾，子欲养而亲不在！要珍惜和亲人在一起的时间啊！

小草懂得感恩赠与它无限生机的春天，雄鹰懂得感恩任它自由翱翔的茫茫苍穹，鱼儿懂得感恩哺育它的辽阔大海……生活中，我们更应该学会感恩。感恩含辛茹苦养育我们的父母，感恩谆谆教导我们的老师，感恩陪伴我们长大的同学……今年的感恩节，我们四班的同学们一起制作了感恩节贺卡，送给自已要感恩的人。我想把我制作的感恩节贺卡送给我们的班主任——凌慧老师。

凌老师是我最喜欢的老师，她从二年级就开担任我们的班主任。课上，她是我们和蔼可亲，风趣幽默老师。她讲课的声音仿佛是春天里叮咚的泉水，潺潺的小溪，滋润着求知若渴的我们。再枯燥，乏味的课，她都讲解得那么生动，那么形象，让我们课堂充满了乐趣和无限的想象。课下，她是我们形影不离，亲密无间的好朋友，我们一起聊天，一起做游戏，一起排练节目，一起锻炼身体。她不但教给我们宝贵的知识，还教给我们更多做人的道理，把我们从一个个懵懂无知的“小不点儿”变成了多才多艺、积极向上，有理想、有目标的好少年。她是我最想感谢的人。

做一张什么样的贺卡才能表达我对凌老师的无限感恩之情呢？面对五颜六色的卡纸，我的思绪犹如飞快旋转的风车。有了，我要为凌老献上春天里最美的花束。先用绿色的卡纸修剪出嫩绿的小草，再在小草上盛开出五彩缤纷的花朵，当然还要为花束穿上漂亮的外衣，用爱心写上对老师祝福感恩的话语……剪一剪，贴一贴，写一写，我的心里唱着欢快的歌。一张可爱的、别致的、与众不同的花束贺卡出现了，嫩嫩的、绿油油的小草是那么的生机勃勃，色彩斑斓的花朵点缀着小小的、黄黄的、亮亮的花心，仿佛为花朵撒上了明亮的小星星，橙色的外衣犹如温暖的阳光包裹着美丽的花束。

敬爱的凌老师，我要把亲手制作的感恩节花束贺卡送给您，感谢您将希望的羽翼插在我们身上，让我飞得更高，看的更远；感谢您在我们迷失方向时，为我们点一盏明亮的灯，指引我们前进的方向；感谢您在我们受到挫折和失败时，亲切鼓励的话语给我们再次起航的力量；更感谢您这三年多来我们付出的汗水和辛劳……

节日，每当谈起，心中总有—丝兴奋与激动。从古至今，节日越来越多，花样也甚多。不过，在茫茫节日中，只有极少数是我的最爱。所以，如果让我立一个节日，那我会亳不犹豫的说：“感恩节！”虽然这个节日外国已经有了，不过我还是希望我们这也有个这样的节日，至于为什么，还得从我听过的那件事说起。

那是一次下雨天，由于路面塌陷，一个极疲惫的司机没看清危险标志，等车飞速开过，想急刹车也来不及了，车的整个右前轮开始下陷，车轮下面，就是百丈深渊。这时正在一旁抢修道路的修路工冲了过去，用手中的钢纤死死撬住了车轮，车上20多人才得以逃生，而那位修路工人则因虚脱昏倒，一条腿也压碎了，不得不截肢。不久，电视台记者来采访他时，让他说说他现在最想说的话，他想了想说：“最让俺遗憾的是，都说俺就了20多条人命，可俺连这些人长什么模样都不知道。俺并不稀罕当什么救命恩人，俺只想知道俺救的是谁，能听到他们几句“谢谢”就够了，可直到今天，一个人也没来过……。。”难道是他们不知道是这个工人救了他们吗？不是的，是他们完全不懂得感恩！

如果我们这儿也有感恩节的话，我相信那些被那位工人救过的人，一定会不请自来的向工人说声谢谢。如果我们懂得说声谢谢，懂得感恩，那么我们这个世界将会和谐永久，那就不再需要有这个感恩节，因为每个人都知道感恩，每天都知道感恩，而不只限于那一日。

“感恩的心，感谢有你，伴我一生，让我有勇气做我自己……”甜美的歌声，唱出了无限的感激之情。我多想有个感恩节！

[我想有个感恩节四年级作文

it was a sun day of the summer holiday. the weather was hot. my little brother and i decided to go to the resrvoir to swim by bike. it took us half an hour when we got there, many people were swimming. the we dived into the water……

in the end, we were worn out, but felt happy. that day was meaningful. we did a good deed!

张晓风说：请给我一个解释，我就可以再相信一次人世，我就愿意拥抱这个荒凉的城市。我想说：不用任何解释，我都会义无反顾地相信爱，相信人世。我愿意用自己的一生拥抱这位单薄的母亲……

感恩的韶痕

我是一个善于遗忘的人，但总是在一些空闲的日子把记忆翻出一遍一遍地看，看着夕阳消失的方向，感受曾经的恩情就像太阳的余辉一样布满了天与地的障隙。恩雅说过每个人都有一条根，就在他的脚下，每离开一步故土就异常疼痛。所以，注定了的，我离不开生我育我的黄土地，我对这片土地爱得深沉，对母亲爱的深沉。

当我背上行囊踽踽独行，回望身后总有一双关切的眼睛，它的光芒穿越空间给我以无穷的温暖和力量。爱母亲，所以不想看到她无助的眼神，不忍心看到她两鬓的白发，不敢想象她佝偻单薄的身影。我知道，这所有的一切都是母亲对我爱得太深太切。人们说当你对岁月有感觉时一定处在非常沉重的回忆中，而你对父母的付出有感觉时也一定开始步入付出的季节。不错，对于母亲用爱韶下的痕迹，我发现文字已显得苍白无力。我唯一能回报的却只有用一颗真诚的心感谢您，拥抱您。

我们的生命就是一本书，书里的每个符号都是母亲用血汗书写的，往往还没有等我们弄懂书里的意义，著者已撒手而去，从此面对书里的密秘，无以破译。自始至终我们一直遍地寻找至诚，寻找爱，但当我们明白最晶莹的至诚和爱就在我们身后时，猛回头――她或许就已经永远离我们而去了。所以，当我们的内心接受到某些恍惚的暗示时，请立刻行动，为母亲做些什么，哪怕只是一转身的回顾。

张晓风说：请给我一个解释，我就可以再相信一次人世，我就愿意拥抱这个荒凉的城市。我想说：不用任何解释，我都会义无反顾地相信爱，相信人世。我愿意用自己的一生拥抱这位单薄的母亲。

学会感恩，一朵玫瑰会换来两袖清香，一米阳光能照彻一方冰霜。让爱的光辉覆盖恨的微芒，用感恩的心对待所有对我们付出的人。

巴金言：我唯一的愿望就是华作泥土，留在人间最温暖的脚印里。我相信这脚印便是用感恩的心韶下的痕迹。今生今世都无法抹掉的证据。

[关于感恩节的600字作文

十多年来，您们对我的关心与照顾，让我感恩不尽，是你们让我拥有了一切，在这里，我向你们说一声，爸爸妈妈你们辛苦了，我爱你们！

如今我已经长大了，而时光也在你们的脸上刻下了道道皱纹，你们乌黑的头发上也增添了几根银丝，你们对我的照顾，我会铭记在心。有一天我一定会报答你们的。

我感恩，感恩你们这么多年来对我的关爱，让我感受到温暖，感恩你们给了我一个幸福的家，是你们在我生病的时候，不顾一切背着我去医院；是你们在我哭泣的时候，安慰我；是你们下雨时为我撑起了花伞，你们为我所做的一切，早已触动了我那幼小的心灵，你们的爱像雨露，滋润了久旱的禾苗，你们的爱像大树，为我撑起了绿茵；你们的爱像灯光，照亮了我前行的道路；你们的爱像阳光，让我感受到温暖。

我思念，思念童年时伏在爸爸背上的那一刻，思念小时候在妈妈怀里的刹那间，更思念幼时妈妈给的那一个个甜蜜的吻。而现在，那些思念已经成为历史，成为回忆，已经离我远去。

我渴望，渴望回到小时候，渴望再一次回到父亲的背后，渴望再一次回到妈妈那温暖的怀抱中，渴望能还给妈妈一个吻。我渴望，渴望爸爸妈妈工作回来时，能够在家里多陪我几天，让我也能够像别的小朋友那样身边有父母的陪伴。

爸爸妈妈，您们对我的照顾、关心、帮助，我永远不会忘怀，你们给予我的一切，我会格外珍惜，爸爸妈妈我永远爱你们！愿你们在外生活幸福，工作顺利！

I am xx.  I was born in xx.  I graduate from senior high school and major in English.  I started learning English since I was 12 years old.  My parents have a lot of American friends.  That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes.  I used to go abroad for a short- term English study.  During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting.  I could express one substanceby using different sounds.  So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

我最要感恩的老师是丁芳老师，她是我小学一至三年级的班主任老师，也是我的数学老师，她对我有很大的帮助。

有一次，我数学考砸了，只有八十多分，丁老师让我们把试卷拿回家去订正。第二天，再一个个的批改。到了第二天，当我把试卷拿给丁老师时，她不由得大吃一惊，连忙问道：“裘宇柯，这一次你怎么考这么差？”说完后，又一题题地帮我分析错因，之后又鼓励我下一次考得好一点。后来，我的数学成绩直线上升。

还有一次是在我读三年级的时候，有一节课刚刚上好，我和一个同学正在聊天，忽然一个人被门框绊了一下，撞倒了同学，同学又把我压倒了。我的耳朵因与墙猛烈刮擦后，出血了，血越流越多，值日班长便把我领到了丁老师的办公室。丁老师一看，急忙把我送到对面的卫生所涂了一点红药水后，又匆忙把我送进了医院里动手术……

丁老师还把我选入国旗队，使我成为了一名光荣的护旗手；在我上课状态不好时，她会用眼神来提醒我，让我马上进入状态。

现在我已经读五年级了，丁老师已不再教我们了，但是，她永远是我心中敬爱的老师。

“感恩的心，感谢有你，让我一生，有勇气做我自己。感恩的心，感谢命运，花开花谢，我一样都很珍惜。”一听到这首歌我就想起了一直关心照顾我的妈妈。

许多人值得我感恩，有关心我的外婆和外公。生我养我的父母。一年级就开始和我一起学习奋斗的同学……但最值得我感恩的人，就是一手把我带大的妈妈。从我出生那天起，妈妈就无微不至的关心我，照顾我，让我吃好的。穿暖的。用棒的……直到我上小学一年级，妈妈就用心教育我，不管寒冬酷暑，都每天骑着一个电动车送我上学。每天早上，妈妈都早早起床做好早饭，而我还在坐着香甜的美梦。做完早饭后，妈妈又去洗衣服了，等我起来就去送我上学，上学之前总要说一声：“上课认真听讲!”以前我总觉得妈妈太罗嗦，可是妈妈的罗嗦全是对我的爱。每天放学，我总能吃到香喷喷的午饭，妈妈为什么不去干自己的事?上qq，打麻将……可妈妈却放弃了这些，只为了小小的我妈妈的额头上，也长上了皱纹。

每当我没考好，妈妈就说我几句，但并没有骂我，而且让我加油努力。要是我考好了妈妈就让我不要骄傲。啊，妈妈感谢您对我的关爱。

__月__日 星期__ 天气__

今天是感恩节，我要感谢那些帮助过我以及我所爱的朋友们，我更要感谢哺育我长大，给了我无微不至关怀的爸爸和妈妈，感谢您们给了我生命，因为您们我的生命才变得完整而有意义。

我现在已经九岁了，在这九年的日子里，妈妈的目光一直伴随我成长，爸爸的教导一直指引我成长的方向。

每天妈妈早早起床，为我准备好干净的衣服和可口的早餐，晚饭后还要打扫卫生，洗衣服，还常常监督我的学习……白天还要忙于工作，我知道那是为了这个家。

因为有了太阳，大地万物自由生长，因为有了月亮，夜晚不再暗淡无光，因为有了星星，天空不再辽远空旷，因为有了父母，我才会变得这么得幸福快乐，在这儿，我只想真心地对您们说：“爸爸，妈妈谢谢您!我好爱好爱您们!”

每当我看到干净的马路，我就想到辛勤的环卫工人。每当看到无数个病人，我会就想到为病人解除病痛的医生。是谁每天为我煮饭送我去上学养育了我，是我亲爱的.父母。是谁教育了我，是我们敬爱的老师。我想设个感恩节，在这一天里，我们可以对曾经帮助过我们的人说声谢谢，或赠送礼物。

那一天，许多大学生都来看望曾经教过他们的老师，有的送些水果给老师，有的送些花给老师还有些虽然什么也没带，可是他们并没有忘记老师，还送给老师一些祝福的话，让老师感到十分欣慰。我会对我的父母说声谢谢，谢谢您这么多年每天早早起床为我煮饭，而且不管刮风下雨，每天送我上学，是您养育了我，我会用好成绩来报答您。我会对环卫工人说谢谢你们这么年，一直打扫城市的卫生，如果没有你们每天在马路上打扫卫生，那么这个城市将变成垃圾城。我想对医生说谢谢你们这么多年，为我们治病，使我们有了健康的身体。我还要对交警叔叔说声谢谢，感谢您这么多年每天在马路上指挥交通，遇到不认识路的人，告诉他这么走，您是我们可爱可敬的人。

我想有个感恩节，这样，大家就可以去感谢所有帮助过我们的人，在这天里深深感谢他们。有了这个节日社会将变的更加和谐美好。

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. Atime of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holidayparades and giant balloons.

在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子;是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子;是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

The Pilgrims who sailed tothis country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the EnglishSeparatist Church (a Puritan sect)。 They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religiouspersecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventuallybecame disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking abetter life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to financea pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflowerwere non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys interests. Onlyabout one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘 “五月花”来到这个国度的旅行者(朝圣者)原本是英国分离者地下教会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员(契约奴)。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock onDecember 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of thefollowing fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on theMayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remainingcolonists decided to celebrate with a feast ——including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. Itis believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year withoutthe help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvestfestival than a true “thanksgiving” observance. It lasted three days.

1620年 12月11日，旅行者们在“普利茅斯石”登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，第二年秋天来临时，原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收，这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信，若没有当地居民的帮助，他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个“感恩”仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent “four men fowling” after wild ducks andgeese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, itis certain that they had venison. The term “turkey” was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用“火鸡”一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgivingtable is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included thattreat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread orpastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced atype of fried bread from their corn crop. There was also no milk, cider,potatoes, or butter. There was no domestic cattle for dairy products, and thenewly-discovered potato was still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous.But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit,clams, venison, and plums.

现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶;而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This “thanksgiving” feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during asevere drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain.When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradfordproclaimed another day of Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. Itwasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行“感恩”庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。

On June 20, 1676, the governing council ofCharlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to expressthanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established.By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29as a day of thanksgiving. It is notable that this thanksgiving celebrationprobably did not include the Indians, as the celebration was meant partly to bein recognition of the colonists recent victory over the “heathen natives,”

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 days meaning will be firmly established

在美国,感恩节是在十一月的第四个星期四。在加拿大,它是在十月的第二个星期一。在这个节日,感恩节大餐准备所有的礼品;家人聚集在一起,说话,而其他看游戏或一个充满朝圣者游行,印第安人和其他殖民地的人物。一些家庭甚至有自己的每年感恩节的传统。

你认为感恩节时想到什么?你照片的感激对上帝或者它仅仅是吃饭,聚会或者看足球吗?

可悲的是,后者已经成为大多数是感恩节。他们已经忘记了为什么成立的那一天。它的意义逐渐恶化,现在几乎完全失去了云媒体炒作下,销售宣传、营销策略和闪电战商业化。

虽然许多熟悉的传统表示原来的感恩节,是有帮助检查它最先的目的。通过这样做,将坚定的日子意义

1621年，那些乘“五月花”号船来到马萨诸塞普利茅斯的英国人首次庆祝了感恩节。

渡过了艰难冬季的这六十个人邀请了当地印地安人的首领(他们与他谈判并签了协议)来共享丰收之果实。令他们吃惊的是，这位印第安人首领带来了九十名虽服饰整洁却饿得慌的印第安勇士!很显然，他们准备的食物不够了。这些印第安人很快回去拿来来了野鹿和其它食物。这顿宴席由火鸡、野鹅、野鸭、龙虾、爆玉米、蛤肉、玉米饼、酸梅、水果和苹果汁等组成，共持续了三天。

自从1863年阿伯拉罕.林肯总统将感恩节宣布为全国性节日后，大多数美国人都庆祝这一节日。这一天，全家人欢聚一堂感谢颂扬上苍在过去一年里的仁慈和恩惠。美国人和加拿大人(10月份的第二个星期一)庆祝感恩节时通常用加好调味品的烤火鸡、鸭、鹅来摆宴。远离家乡的人被作为客人受到邀请。人们也为那些不幸者送去食物。当地一些机关、学校和教堂先收集食物然后装入食品篮内分发给穷人。有些商店老板还将火鸡送给雇员和一些老顾客。
