16. Christmas comes on December 25th. It always
begins before breakfast. Children get up very early
and open the presents from Father Christmas in
their stockings and under the Christmas tree.
They wake up the other family members and say
“Merry Christmas” to each other. After a delicious
breakfast, they play with their new toys, visit their
relatives and friends. It’s the happiest and most
important festival of a year.

17. Thanksgiving Day falls on the 4th Thursday of
November. Usually families all get together and
have a big dinner. Almost everyone eats turkey
for Thanksgiving. Every family will have their own
favourite food to eat, so it’s not the same all over
the USA. But usually people will cook mashed
potatoes(土豆泥) and pumpkin pies.
