Thanksgiving Day in Vinnytsia

This time (26, November) the Information Center "Window on America" was hosting its users (32) for Thanksgiving activities. PC Volunteers led English Club choosing Thanksgiving as a topic for their discussion. The participants had opportunity to share their ideas on Thanksgiving Day telling some facts on a history of this holiday. The leaders told about Thanksgiving traditions and their experience of celebrating this fest in their families. It was interesting to get to know more about "Black Friday" after Thanksgiving Thursday. Most Americans  try to skip it. For some members of the Club this hoilday is a day to forgive enemies. It is a Day of Purification to start things fresh with each other.
At the end everybody shared ideas about a meaning of Thanksgiving Day in their life. Hmm... What are you thankful for?

Thanksgiving Over the Years, Thanksgiving on the Roads, Thanksgiving on the Table, Thanksgiving Around the Country, Fun Facts About the First Thanskgiving, Thanksgiving Facts Throughout History, Fun Facts About Thanksgiving Today, Fun Turkey Facts and More History.
