Thanksgiving

My favorite Holiday in America is Thanksgiving.  It's a harvest and thanks-giving festival originally celebrating the Native Americans that helped the earliest European settlers in America.  We eat roast turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and various other traditional foods and we tell our family what we're thankful for.  It's a time to be appreciative of family, food, and the fruit of our labor.  It also happens in my favorite season when the air is cool and the leaves are colorful and change is afoot.  This year, I will celebrate with my friends here in Hidaka.

 一番好きなアメリカの祝日はサンクスギビングという。サンクスギビングとは元々アメリカの原住民にヨロパからきた人がもらった食べ物と手伝いの祝いする収穫感謝際。伝統的に七面鳥のロースやマーシュポテトやスターフィンやクランベリーなどの食べ物を食べて何に感謝しているか家族と話す。さては涼しい空気とキレイな紅葉がある季節が一番すき。今年日高村にいる友達とお祝いする予定です。
