It sounds as if he is singing about Thanksgiving, as he sings of “homemade pumpkin pie”, a traditional dish for the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving for Americans is much like Spring Festival for us, a time when families try to get back together. In America people often travel many miles to get back to their hometown, whether it’s from north to south, “Pennsylvania … down to Dixie” (Dixie is a traditional name for the American South) or from east to west, “the Atlantic to Pacific”.

Do people always show their appreciation to others who have helped or supported them?

At other times, when we are away from the holiday rush, we tend to recall the true significance of a holiday — a time to say how much we value others.

B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 2B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 2The History of Thanksgiving Day In the United States, the fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. On this day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year. Thanksgiving is usually a family day, celebrated with big dinners and happy reunions. The first American Thanksgiving was held in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621. In 17th century, a group of pilgrims left England to explore the New World. It was in September of 1620 when their ship called the “Mayflower” left port with 102 men, women, and children on board. They landed in Provincetown Harbor after 65 days at sea. B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 3B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 3The pilgrims were poorly equipped to cope with life in the wilderness. During their first winter in the new land, they suffered tremendously. Poor food, hard work, infectious diseases, and bitter cold weather killed about half of them. By the end of this terrible first winter, only about 50 remained alive. One spring morning in 1621, an Indian walked into the little village of Plymouth and introduced himself in a friendly way. Later, he brought the Indian chief, Massasoit, who gave gifts to the people and offered assistance. The Indians of Massasoit’s tribe taught the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish and grow food. They taught the pilgrims to use fish for fertilizer in planting corn, pumpkins, and beans. B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 4B R _ General Introduction to Thanksgiving Day 4Because of this help from the Indians, the Pilgrims had a good harvest. Following an ancient tradition, Governor William Bradford, in the fall of 1621, issued a proclamation establishing a day of thanksgiving to God. The governor also decided to use this religious occasion to strengthen the bond of friendship between the pilgrims and their Indian neighbors. So he invited Chief Massasoit and his brave Indians to share the Thanksgiving feast. The Indians gladly accepted the invitation and sent five deer ahead. The pilgrim men went hunting and returned with turkey and other wild game. The women prepared delicious dishes from corn, cranberries, squash and pumpkins.

Welcome to the White House. On behalf of Sasha and Malia and myself, we’re thrilled to see you. I want to thank Walter Pelletier, chairman of the National Turkey Federation, and Joel Brandenberger, its president, for donating this year’s turkey. His name is “Courage,” and he traveled here from Goldsboro, North Carolina, where he was raised under Walter’s own precious care. There you go. Now, the National Turkey Federation has been bringing its finest turkeys to the White House for more than 50 years. I’m told Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson actually ate their turkeys.

President Kennedy was even given a turkey with a sign around its neck that said, “Good Eatin’, Mr. President.” But he showed mercy and he said, “Let’s keep him going.” And 20 years ago this Thanksgiving, the first President Bush issued the first official presidential pardon for a turkey. Today, I am pleased to announce that thanks to the interventions of Malia and Sasha — because I was planning to eat this sucker — “Courage” will also be spared this terrible and delicious fate. Later today, he’ll head to Disneyland, where he’ll be grand marshal of tomorrow’s parade. And just in case “Courage” can’t fulfill his responsibilities, Walter B R _ Pardon Turkey as a Tradition 6B R _ Pardon Turkey as a Tradition 6brought along another turkey, “Carolina,” as an alternate, the stand-in. Now, later this afternoon, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will take two of their less fortunate brethren to Martha’s table, an organization that does extraordinary work to help folks here in D.C. who need it the most. And I want to thank Jaindl’s Turkey Farm in Orefield, Pennsylvania, for donating those dressed birds for dinner. So today, all told, I believe it’s fair to say that we have saved or created four turkeys. B R _ Thanksgiving Celebration 1B R _ Thanksgiving Celebration 1Thanksgiving Celebration1.

B R _ Native AmericansB R _ Native AmericansNative Americans Native Americans were living in North America for many hundreds of years before Europeans reached the continent. For a long time white people called them Indians. Today many people do not like this name since it is based on a mistake: it was given to the people living in the America by Christopher Columbus who, when he arrived there, thought he had landed in India. Instead, people prefer to use the term Native Americans.
