“Thanksgiving Day is a joyous family festival celebrated with lot of enthusiasm in US, Canada and several other countries. Thanksgiving Day Festival commemorates the feast held by the Pilgrim colonists and members of the Wampanoag people at Plymouth in 1621. It is celebrated with lot of fervor and euphoria on the fourth Thursday in the month of November. For the people in US Thanksgiving is a time for merrymaking, shopping, family reunion, feasts and family dinners. People also take time to thank God for his constant grace and for all the material possessions man enjoys. For many Thanksgiving is also the time to thank near and dear ones and being grateful for their kindness.”

“Big Thiago” have chosen me to write this post, but I didn’t have any idea about what to talk about. So I’m here proposing that we talk about family tradition, family food and family meeting. Here in
But, anyways… I usually am with my family specially on Sunday. We often go to my grandmother’s home and take a lunch prepared by her. And we spend the hole day there, eating, talking, laughing, and having some fun with our cousins. I love family meeting specially because my grandma cooks very well.
ok, that’s it.
Now it’s up to you, speakers. What is you favorite family meeting? Do you like to stay with then?
P.s.: Let’s play “tricks or treat” next meeting again? #)
First of all, Ana Luisa, I totally agree with you! kkk, It was way too funny playing trick or treats AND 30 seconds with you guys!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite family meeting, is when we have birthdays! I don't have a big family, my aunt, uncle and cousins live in SP and I only have one grandma here. Every Saturday grandma is in my place, and she brings us cake *-* ahaiuha . For me, family is everything! I just couldn't live without then! As Jack Johnson would say ' It's always better when we are togheter...' Talking about Thanksgiving, I'd appreciate to celebrate it! When I see it in the movies, I get amazed by the Turkey they have! hahah. So, to finish my comment : I feel thankful for my family, friends and for you, meetup speakers! :DDD
lovely topic, luisa! when I have the time, promise i'll write a true comment! =D
ReplyDeletethanksgiving day? intresting topic. i aways wished to eat that big and beultiful turkey ( i'm getting hungry :P ), not missing the family and the thanks for all. to me it would be a nice way to thanks by everything that i have. favourit family meeting, the christmas. not only about the gifts, and because it is 2 days before my birthday, but its because i feel something diferent in this day, and i love this! and i trully love to be closer to my family, wherever we are.
ReplyDeleteDear mister santa claus,
next year i would love to spend my hollidays in SP with my cousins, and i would like to earn a new psp,
don´t miss me thiago ^^ XD
So, I really love traditional celebrations such as Thanksgiving (despite the ugly history behind it), St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, Japan's Sakura Festivals and so on. By getting to know them and everything behind each cultural aspect, I always feel part of it, at some degree. And this is what I promise to take for you guys tomorrow: following close Luisa's suggestion, I hope we can learn a lot about holidays around the world. See you there!
