Happy Thanksgiving

Today is Thanksgiving.

In the United States it is celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of November.

Thanksgiving is a national holiday, which began as a tradition of celebrating the harvest of the year.

It is traditionally a day for families and friends to get together for a special meal, and to give thanks for the food and for what they have.

Note: In Canada it is on the second Monday of October.

Heute ist Thanksgiving

In den Vereinigten Staaten wird es am vierten Donnerstag im November gefeiert, und ist ein staatlicher Feiertag.

Thanksgiving hat als eine Form des Erntedankfestes begonnen, und ist heute ein wichtiges Familienfest.

Es ist traditionell ein Tag für die Familie und Freunde, die für ein Festmahl zusammenkommen, und für das Essen und alles, was sie haben, danken.

Bemerkung: In Kanada wird das Fest am zweiten Montag im Oktober gefeiert.

Today is the "International Day of Peace"

"Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one."

- John Lennon -

"Peace begins with a smile."

Grandparents Day

Don't forget, tomorrow is Grandparents Day.

In the United States it is the first Sunday after Labor Day, in September. So this year it falls on September 9.

It is celebrated in the U.S. since 1978.

Some gift ideas: bake a cake, and put a flag on it with the label "Happy Grandparents Day!".
Or make a handprint card, a magnet with your photo, or other little homemade gifts.

But don't forget. You don't need a special day to spend time with your grandparents.
