Thanksgiving Day is traditionally a day
for families and friends to get together for a
special meal. The meal often includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie, and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have.
Слайд 11
Thanksgiving Day parades are held in some cities
and towns on or around Thanksgiving Day. Some parades
or festivities also mark the opening of the Christmas shopping season. Some people have a four-day weekend so it is a popular time for trips and to visit family and friends.
Слайд 12
Public life
Most government offices, businesses, schools and other
organizations are closed on Thanksgiving Day. Many offices and
businesses allow staff to have a four-day weekend so these offices and businesses are also closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. Public transit systems do not usually operate on their regular timetables. Thanksgiving Day it is one of the busiest periods for travel in the USA. This can cause congestion and overcrowding. Seasonal parades and busy football games can cause disruption to local traffic.

Background
Thanksgiving Day has been an annual holiday
in the United States since 1863. Not every one
sees Thanksgiving Day as a cause for celebration. Each year since 1970, a group of Native Americans and their supporters have staged a protest for a National Day of Mourning at Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day. American Indian Heritage Day is also observed at this time of the year.
Слайд 14
There are claims that the first Thanksgiving Day
was held in the city of El Paso, Texas
in 1598. Another early event was held in 1619 in the Virginia Colony. Many people trace the origins of the modern Thanksgiving Day to the harvest celebration that the Pilgrims held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. However, their first true thanksgiving was in 1623, when they gave thanks for rain that ended a drought. These early thanksgivings took the form of a special church service, rather than a feast.
Слайд 15
In the second half of the 1600s, thanksgivings
after the harvest became more common and started to
become annual events. However, it was celebrated on different days in different communities and in some places there were more than one thanksgiving each year. George Washington, the first president of the United States, proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving Day in 1789.

Apple Day
Apple Day is an annual celebration,
held in October, of apples and orchards. It is
celebrated mainly in the United Kingdom.
Слайд 21
Apple Day was initiated by
Common Ground in 1990 and has been celebrated in
each subsequent year by people organizing hundreds of local events. Common Ground describe the day as a way of celebrating and demonstrating that variety and richness matter to a locality and that it is possible to effect change in your place. Common Ground has used the apple as a symbol of the physical, cultural and genetic diversity we should not let slip away. In linking particular apples with their place of origin, they hope that orchards will be recognized and conserved for their contribution to local distinctiveness, including the rich diversity of wild life they support.
Слайд 22
More recently Apple Day has evolved into a
weekend event, usually taking place on the Saturday and
Sunday closest to Oct. 21st although a number of venues now simply use the term Apple Day for their own events which can take place anywhere in the second half of October.
Слайд 23
The first Apple Day was on October 21,
1990 in Covent Garden, London.
