感恩节习俗
一、晚宴
感恩节的晚宴是美国人一年中很重视的一餐。这一餐的食物非常之丰富。在餐桌上，火鸡和南瓜饼都是必备的。美国感恩节的食品富有传统特色。火鸡是感恩节的传统主菜，由男主人用刀切成薄片分给大家。然后由各人自己浇上卤汁，洒上盐，味道十分鲜美。
此外，感恩节的传统食品还有甜山芋、玉蜀黍、南瓜饼、红莓苔子果酱、自己烘烤的面包及各种蔬菜和水果等。
二、游戏
饭后，经常还做些传统游戏。比如：跳舞、各种比赛等许多娱乐活动。有种游戏叫蔓越桔竞赛，是把一个装有蔓越桔的大碗放在地上，4-10名竞赛者围坐在周围，每人发给针线一份。比赛一开始，他们先穿针线，然后把蔓越桔一个个串起来，3分钟一到；谁串得最长，谁就得奖。
至于穿得最慢的人，大家还开玩笑地发给他一个最差奖还有一种玉米游戏也很古老。先把感恩节南瓜、五个玉米藏在屋里，由大家分头去找，找到玉米的五个人参加比赛，其他人在一旁观看。比赛开始，五个人就迅速把玉米粒剥在一个碗里，谁先剥完谁得奖，然后由没有参加比赛的人围在碗旁边猜里面有多少玉米粒，猜得数量最接近的奖给一大包玉米花。
三、游行
始于1924年梅西感恩节大游行是全美感恩节最大规模的庆祝活动，该活动于每年感恩节（11月的第四个星期四）当天举行。

All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest.

感恩节的由来
Thanksgiving originated in the early settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
These immigrants were called pilgrims when they were in England, because they were dissatisfied with the religious reform of the British church, and the political and religious persecution of the British and British churches, so these Puritans were away from the Church of England and went away from Holland.
Later, he decided to move to the deserted land on the other side of the Atlantic, hoping to live freely according to his own wishes.
The origin of Thanksgiving dates back to the beginning of American history.
In 1620, the famous "May flower" ship arrived in America with 102 pilgrims who could not tolerate religious persecution in Britain.
In the winter of 1620 and 1621, they met the refugees to bring the necessities of life and specially sent them to teach them how to hunt, catch fish and grow corn and pumpkin.
With the help of the Indians, the immigrants finally got a bumper harvest. In the day of celebrating the harvest, according to the religious traditions, immigrants set up the days of gratitude to God, and decided to thank the Indians for their sincere help and to invite them to celebrate the festival together.

感恩节为什么要吃火鸡？
有一种说法是这样的，在16世纪某一年的收获节上，英国的伊丽莎白女王正在吃烤鹅。这时传来消息说，西班牙的无敌舰队在前往攻击她心爱的英国途中沉没了，女王高兴不已，于是又要了一只鹅来庆祝这一捷报。因此鹅也就成了英国丰收季节的爱鸟。当清教徒们从英国来到美国时，烤火鸡代替烤鹅成了主要菜肴，因为北美大陆火鸡数量更为丰富，比鹅更容易找到。
