    I like thanksgiving holiday. I had a big feast with my home stay family. Turkey sandwich and pumpkin cookies, those are my favorite foods. I think "thanksgiving" is a very important holiday for most Americans and also is a beginning part of Christmas.

    I am very satisfied with this thanksgiving holiday.
    Danni and me went to a host family in Boston.
    The 2nd day we went to the movie new moon.
    The 3rd day we went to their cousins house to celebrate thanksgiving.
    The 4th day we went to the Mall for Black Friday Shopping.
    The 5th day we stay at home and I did some reading.

    The holiday was very fabulous.

    BUT NOW, I AM SO SAD WITH MY SJ CONCERT TICKET AND THE AIRLINE TICKET.

    For me, this thanksgiving was peaceful and interesting. I stayed in Amelia's house. Her family was very nice to me. They taught me a lot of things, such as how to make French toasts, marshed potato and apple pies. I felt so happy that I helped them with their thanksgiving meal. On Friday, we got up at four and went many big shops. It was so much fun when I saw so many people in the supermarket trying to get cheap stuff. I read over 100 pages of my book and watched 4 movies. I really enjoyed that.

    I think thanksgiving is a perfect festival. It's also my first festival in America and celebrated it with Americans. On that day, we can decorate our friends' houses. It is really fun to make my room different. We can also eat a lot of things. It's also my first time to see Americans cook eggplants. They are really delicious. I also made a lot of friends in Polly's friends' house. We talked about our school life and our hobbies. It's also good for us to practice our English. That's all. I really love Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward the Christmas coming soon!

    I agree with leon, everyone wrote a lot, but except Johnny -_-
    I did many stuff in my homestay, some of them I can remember very clearly.
    The huge turkey, everyone ate a lot, but we still have some. And we also had some small trips, like we went to see the lighthouse, watch the movie etc.
    That's all. But I have a good Thanksgiving, that true

    I love it when you all write more than just a sentence or two. It's interesting to hear what you did during break and how you thought about what you did. Keep it up!

    I think thanksgiving is one of my favorite festival right now, I ate a lot turkey in this thanksgiving, and it was really delicious. Except the turkey, I also went to my friend grandpa's house, and I met my friend's cousin, they were really nice. And the best part was I got a new hair cut. Although I don't really know a lot about the thanksgiving, I still really enjoy it, and I am really looking forward to the next thanksgiving!!!!

    Thanksgiving means eat and watch football game.What's more, it's a chance to help some poor people.
    Actually, I think it's a kind of waste to eat so much and don't finish the food.
    As a result, Thanksgiving reminds me don't waste food while there are still some people in hungry.

    I stay in Saco this thanksgiving, but i do have a great time with Calsi and Bekah--she has a scary little dog in her house though.
    and I'm sooo glad to joined a real American family dinner, which is very special to me and it's such a warm family. Of course I like the turkey part. And we sat together and sang songs and talked about some interesting things happened around us. We also went to a church with her family, that's my first time to go to a church.
    What's more, we made some pumpkin cookies for them, they like them so much!! Thx to miss wanser!!

    I think it's a religion, because we never celebrate this in China, but it's good for us to be thankful about what we get

    It's a tradition to celebrate thanksgiving in a lot of countries and I do think we should make everybody in the world celebrate.It reminds us to be thankful to others.
