2016感恩节的英语作文合集2篇 作文高中(合集20篇)

When I went to middle school, it was hard for me to adjust the new

environment at first, because there were so many subjects to learn, I fell

behind other students. I did not know what to do, I just wanted to get away from

school. I talked about my annoyance to my friend, she told me that I got too

much pressure and she suggested me to take relax and made progress step by step.

She said everything would be better someday. Now I have made progress and when I

look back on the passed days, it was just a small problem for me. I got over the

hard moment and become a strong person.

Mid-autumn Day is a Chinese festival。 It usually es in September or October 。On that day we usually eat a big dinner and mooncakes。 It is said "Hou Yi" missed his wife，so he made mooncakes。 It looks like the moon。

There are many kinds of mooncakes。 They are small round cakes with meat， nuts or something sweet inside 。 eating mooncakes has been our custom。 Families stay outside in the open air eat a big dinner and mooncakes。 The most important thing is looking at the moon， On that day， the moon kooks brighter and rounder。 We call this moon the full moon。

On that day， families get together， so we call this day getting together。 This is Mid-autumn Day。 I love it very much。 Because on that day I can eat mooncakes。 And my brother es back home。 He works outside all year。 Only that day and the Spring Festival。 He es back。 So that day I am especially happy。 On that day my family gets together。

中秋节是一个中国节日，通常是九月或十月。当天我们经常吃一顿丰盛的晚餐和月饼。据说“后羿”想念他的妻子，所以他做了月饼。它看起来像月亮。

有各种各样的月饼。它们是小圆饼，里面有肉，坚果或者里面的甜点。吃月饼是我们的习惯。家人在户外露天吃大餐和月饼。最重要的是看着月亮，在那一天，月亮变得越来越明亮。我们称这个月亮为满月。

在那一天，家庭聚在一起，所以我们称这一天聚在一起。这是中秋节。我非常喜欢。因为那天我可以吃月饼。而且我的兄弟回家了。他全年都在外面工作只有那一天和春节。他回来了。所以那天我特别开心。那天我的家人聚在一起。

人生的内涵，是旅途，不是征程。

人生的意义，酸甜苦辣，喜忧参半。

自己丰富才能感知世界的善良；自己坦荡才能逍遥生活于天地之间。生活中的我们只要用一颗感恩的心去对待，每个人都可以是一个微笑的天使。

人生如镜，你的微笑不会折射为哭泣，面对生活，我们既要有乘风破浪的勇气，也要有抵御暗礁的豪迈，更要有匍匐前进的决心和启犁开抗的憧憬。

经过坎坷，记着改正自己；

经过风雨，记着保护自己；

经过彩虹，记着鼓励自己。

感恩的人明白：一味的哀愁叹息，不如给自己一个微笑——下次，我一定会做到最好！

感恩的人，心中充满阳光，即使有雪花飘落，也会融化。

用眼睛去欣赏，用耳朵去倾听，用心灵去回味。人人心中都有一汪清泉，洗濯你的灵魂，滋润你的生命。只因日常的琐碎，生活的纷杂，才掩蔽了她的环佩妙音，朦胧了她的清碧透明。

感恩的人，心有琴弦。纵然曲尽人散，客去茶凉，仍有小曲缓缓响起，仍有满树桂花化为酒香。

学会感恩，让每个接近你的人都有如沐春风的感觉。给别人一个关怀的眼神，一个灿烂的微笑，一个温暖的拥抱，对生命的美丽作感激的见证，让心中充满希望，让心中充满智慧，让心中充满力量。你，就会创造奇迹。

感恩的人，心有玉阶。满阶是香囊佩瑶，满阶是玲珑的小贝，满阶是剔透玉石，于是，孤独不再降临，天空不再寂寞，只要有一颗感念世情的心，人生才有啁啁鸟鸣暖春，才有阵阵蛙声的炎夏，才有翩翩红叶的深秋，才有皑皑平川的寒冬。

不必问："直到风景都已看透，你还会不会陪我看细水长流？"有时候，并非真的是无端的失落，孤单的体会带来的煎熬只是因为我们不懂得感恩。

待明天，抬头望天，心澈如泉，心朗如天。

感恩节到了，首先我要感谢生我养我的爸爸妈妈，再要感谢教我培养我的老师。

今天，我要感谢的是我的课外围棋老师，当我八岁的时候，我初次在x年迎“六一”少儿围棋比赛中，获得鼓励将时，从此便树立了我下棋的决心，使我恋上了围棋。我便拜雷老师为师，在他精心的教导下，我渐渐学会了“吃子、布局、收官……”由一个棋盲“门外汉”变成一个实力业余4段的小棋手，在屡次比赛中频频获奖。

我记得获得最好的成绩是，全市升段赛和第六届、第八届的冠军，全省“临川晚报杯”第二名，国际上海邀请赛第六名，这些来之不易的成绩都是围棋老师的辛勤教育的功劳，我怎能忘记你们的教育之恩呢?

今后我要用实际行动来感谢你对我的培养，古人说得好：一日为师，终生为父，滴水之恩，当勇泉相报。成绩只能代表过去，我要努力学习，使自己的棋艺不继提高，虚心向棋友学习，总结经验，改掉自己的不足之处，学习别人高超的棋艺及别人的优点，将来获得更好的成绩来回报我的恩师。决不会让恩师失望。

My Mother isa kind and gentle woman。 She is always very gentle。 She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school。 I have one brother and two sistets。 So she gets four children in all。 She gives us every fort。 We all love her and she loves us also。

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up。 As our family is too poor to keep a servant， my mother has always to do very much work。 She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day。 She works hard， yet without plaining。

She is also a thrifty， and industrious woman。 She saves every cent that she can and keeps everything in order。 As she has been busy eversince she was young， she looks older than she really is。 Her face is wrinkled， her hair bees silver white， but she works as hard as ever。

Often she says to us， work while you work， play while you play。 If you do not work， you will bee lazy and of no use to society。 What piece of good advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind。

鲜花感恩雨露，因为雨露滋润它成长;苍鹰感恩长空，因为长空让它飞翔;高山感恩大地，因为大地让它高耸。在今年的感恩节，我要感恩我的爸爸、妈妈。

是父母把我们带到了这个充满光明的世界;是父母拉着我们的手教我们走路;是父母一遍又一遍地教我们认字。父母，是我们在这个感恩节中最该感恩的人。

记得我初学自行车时，我一次又一次地摔倒，爸爸总在我身后鼓励我：“你能行!”当我考试考砸的时，妈妈会温柔地对我说：“没关系，加油，再接再厉!”当我的美术作品没有获奖时，爸爸、妈妈安慰我说：“没关系，你已经很棒了!”这些简短的话语，我一直记在心里。正是这些话语，使我受到鼓舞，振作起来。

我想给爸爸、妈妈做一张与众不同的贺卡。我用绿色彩纸剪下嫩绿的小草，又在小草周围点缀了五彩缤纷的花朵，然后用卡纸把花束包起来，最后我在上面写道：祝爸爸、妈妈感恩节快乐!一个漂亮的花束贺卡做好了。当我把贺卡送给爸爸、妈妈时，他们的脸上都露出了灿烂的笑容。我的心里甜滋滋的。

因为感恩，世界才变得多姿多彩;因为感恩，我们才得到真挚的友情;因为感恩，我们的心灵才变得纯洁美好。我们要怀着一颗感恩的心，感恩父母，感恩老师，感恩身边的每一个人。

祖国的英雄们：

在我成长的道路上，有过快乐，有过悲伤；要学会感恩，学会自立自强。在这里，我要感谢你们，因为是你们让我们过上了更幸福。

当汶川大地震发生时，灾区有那么多的人被埋在废墟底下，但是他们是多么坚强啊！不是遇到困难就退缩。解放军、护士、志愿者．．．．．．他们总是奋不顾身地冲在最前线，既想方设法的保护自己，又保护了他人的生命；2008年北京奥运会上，每次我听到奥运赛场上传来的一条条喜讯，我都抑制不住心中的激动，为他们欢呼起来：“中国，最棒！中国，雄起！“我国健儿不畏艰辛．坚持不懈在赛场上颇颇创造出了优异的成绩。当五星红旗又一次在世界人民的面前徐徐升起，我的心是那么激动，那么心潮澎湃．．．．．．我自豪，我是中国人。以前，那些惨痛历史，我永远不会忘记洋人辱骂我们“东亚病夫”；更不会忘记，洋人树立起的“华人与狗不得入内”；的羞辱牌。令人欢喜的是，新中国成立后，中国人以前所未有的想象力，创造力，实现了中国人民世纪强国之梦；这时候，我又感到我自豪，我自己是中国人。

明天的共和国携带着雄风锐气，高高担起现代的伟业，正向着圆满实现中华人民伟大复兴的理想大踏步前进。作为一个中国人，我感到无比自豪，我觉得我们应该更加认真刻苦学习，长大后，把祖国建设的更加繁荣昌盛，把祖国母亲建设在世界第一名。

学会感恩

在感恩节那天我们应该向别人表达我们的感激之情，然而，我们每天都应该心存感激。

上帝有两个住处，一个在天上，在其他的温顺和感激的心。感激他人的方式来显示你的爱。在我们的日常生活中，我们经常收到我们的父母，朋友，同事和陌生人。也许这是一个小东西，拿起你的笔下降，为你解除沉重的箱子或给你座位的公共汽车。我们应该感谢他们为他们所做的一切。你给予的爱越多，你得到的爱越多。

感恩之心能够认识到我们彼此的存在，如果你有一颗感恩的心，你就会乐于助人，因此，一颗感恩的心就像是一块磁铁，不仅能吸引更多的感激，也会吸引别人的感激。

感谢上天本身。一种感恩和亏欠感是对他人的慷慨善良生活的重要源泉。我们现在陷入了忙碌的生活，忽略了要感谢的细节，大自然的美丽，舒适的现代生活，父母的爱等等。人们可以注意到这些细节，实现友谊，拥有一颗感恩的心，爱情和幸福在我们的生活。

感恩是最美丽的花是来自灵魂弹簧。要感谢的是你有，给予和接受。今天感恩节快乐每一天!

Everyone first Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving parents, teacher in gratitude. Yes, I like all people, also be thankful to my parents. I dont know what words to describe them.

Since the childhood, mom and dad are often said to me: "good good study, you will have a way out." I dont know how to answer. Just in my heart she complains and upset you. Now, I grow up, is no longer that easily to "swept" mom and dad I; Is no longer the only a day I will cry; No longer is that the I couldnt climb up. Experienced a lot of things, I understand a lot.

每个人感恩，都会先感恩父母，在感恩老师。不错，我和所有人一样，也要感恩我的父母。我不知道用哪个词来形容他们。我只知道，他们从小是最疼我的。那一次，不知是我做错了，还是他们做错了。我并不懂他们是怎样爱我的，而我知道，他们是怎样教育我的。

从小，爸爸妈妈就常常对我说：“好好学习，你会有出路的。”我不知道该怎样回答。只是在心里一句句的埋怨与懊恼你们。现在，我长大了，再也不是那个动不动就对爸爸妈妈进行“批斗会”的我;再也不是那个每天只会哭鼻子的我;再也不是那个跌打了爬不起来的我。经历过很多事，我懂得了很多。

I was so busy in the previous winter holiday for I am going to take the

university entrance exam in July this year. Everyday, I buried myself in

studying. I had to review each required subject and do lots of exercises.

Besides, because I did bad in mathematics and physics, I had to do much more

exercises than other courses, which made me discouraged. I spent more than ten

hours a day in studying. When I was tired, I watched TV or listened to music for

a little while. But It was a big pity that I couldnt go to the see cinema. In

addition, I had to refuse all the invitations of friends and relatives. I only

called them or sent messages in the New Year’s Eve. I desperately hoped that

there is no exam but I know it’s impossible. The only thing I can do is to study

hard to get good scores and can be admitted to Tsinghua University.

Today is the first day of the first month, everywhere brimming with a festive atmosphere! See families are decorated, door with Spring Festival couplets, balcony hanging red light, the relatives get together for the family reunion dinner, a toast toast blessing after the work is smooth, the study progress, family happiness! On the way, people dressed in festive costumes and dressed up to visit their friends and relatives, the Spring Festival composition 600 words. We are no exception! Mom and dad took me to visit my grandmas house. All in! Two uncle, two aunt, three uncle, three aunt, aunt, uncle, and cousin, cousin, even younger sister this "little" also come to join the fun! Adults sit on the sofa chatting, watching TV, and we children hand in hand to the room, playing "hide things" games.

Speaking of gratitude, I believe that everybody is not strange. Gratitude is we the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Thanksgiving teachers, parents, classmates.

We are grateful parents, because he gives us life, let us see the colorful world. And we also thank the teacher is he (she) people teach us knowledge, let us be knowledge. Second thanks to classmates, because he (she) is to help us in learning, but I am most grateful to my parents. Why I am most grateful to the parents, because Sunday happened one thing. The road to listen to me carefully.

The morning the weather is particularly good, my father said to go to work, I was very unhappy, there did not think of our living is very simple is to move the brick, moved an hour later, our family sweating like a pig, I cried: is there any water, I have no water, no water but have orange, I ate a half later, mother said that you also eat, mother said no more work.

Although this matter in the past for a long time, but my heart still ringing in the song: "grateful heart, thank you..."

说到感恩，我相信大家都不陌生。感恩是我们中华民族的传统美德。感恩老师、家长、同学。

我们要感恩父母，因为是他给了我们生命，让我们看到这个五彩缤纷的世界。然后我们还要感恩老师是他(她)们教我们知识，让我们成为知识人。其次还要感谢同学，因为是他(她)们在学习中帮助我们，可我最要感恩的人是我的父母。为什么我最感激父母呢，因为星期日发生一件事。下面听我细细道来。

那天早晨天气格外好，我爸爸说去干活，我很不高兴的去了，到了那里没想到我们的活很简单就是搬砖，搬了一个小时后，我们全家人汗流浃背，我嚷着说：有没有水，我没有水呀，没有水但有橘子，我吃了半个之后，说妈妈那你也吃吧，妈妈说不了还要干活。

虽然这件事过去了很久，不过我的心里还响着这首歌：“感恩的心，感谢有你……”

衔环结草，以恩报德——题记

感恩是中华民族的传统美德，“饮水思源”的古训家喻户晓，“滴水之恩当以涌泉相报”的思想老少皆知。感恩的思想深深根植于每个华夏子孙的心中。

楚庄王的宴会上灯火通明，她肌如凝脂，五官秀美，身材苗条，有倾国倾城之貌。她就是楚王的爱姬——许姬。这时，蒋雄的魂魄早已被许姬摄去，不能自持，趁大风吹灭蜡烛之际，蒋雄抓住了许姬的衣袖。许姬趁势将他的盔缨抓在手中并要求楚王追查此人。楚王三思后，命令所有将士摘掉头盗缨，原谅了他。蒋雄深感楚王的不杀之恩，并以死相报。

感恩是一种回报，它需要我们全力以付不遗余力甚至自己的生命。

幼时韩信家里很平穷，过着衣不蔽体，食不果腹的生活。有一位老婆婆很同情他，每天都给韩信饭吃。面对老婆婆的一片诚心，韩信很感激。后来韩信成为着名的将领，被刘邦封为楚王，他仍然惦忆着这位曾经给他帮助的老人。于是找到了这位老人，将她接到自己的宫殿里，像对待自己的母亲一样对待她。

感恩是一种回报，它需要我们知恩必报，小恩重报。

晋文公重耳曾受恩于楚王。楚王曾问重耳如何报答他，重耳笑笑回答道：“要是托您的福。果真能回国当政的话，我愿与贵国友好。假如有一天，晋楚国之间发生战争，我一定命令军队先退避三舍，如果还不能得到您的原谅，我再与您交战”。

感恩是一种回报，它需要我们投李报桃。

鸟儿感恩大树，因为大树给了它宁静的栖息空间；花儿感恩雨露，因为雨露滋润了它的生命；自然界尚且如此，我们人就应该拥有一颗感恩的心！

我要感恩父母。当我生病时，是他们不顾一切地把我背到医院，又不分昼夜的照顾我；当我没带雨伞时，是他们为我送来了雨伞；当我受到委屈，暗自流泪时，是他们用自己温暖的手为我擦去了眼泪。他们为我付出了那么多，我怎能不感谢他们呢？

我要感恩老师，因为老师教给了我知识；当我们犯了错误时，是老师耐心的教导我们；当我们遇到学习上的困难时，是老师一遍一遍地给我们讲；当我们成绩下滑时，是老师用关切的语言让我们振作起来。老师啊，您真是我们前行的指路灯，当我们走向错误道路时，您让我们从新走向正确道路。我要感谢您，我一生都会记住您的教诲：做一个善良，为社会无私奉献，对国家有益的人，做一个正直的人！除此以外，我还要感恩我的同伴们，给予了珍贵纯洁的友情。

那什么是感恩呢？感恩是在父母劳累时，我为他们捧上一杯热茶；当教师节时，悄悄地给送上一句祝福；当朋友不开心时，就去安慰他们……感恩就是这样一个微小的动作，一句温馨的语言，平凡得像朵白白的茉莉花，却带着沁人心脾的清芬，使平淡乏味的生活变得丰富多彩。

Mothers Day is a celebration honoring mothers and celebrating motherhood,

maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society. Its a day to show

thanks to mothers. This festival first appeared in ancient Greece and modern

Mothers Day originated in the United States which usually falls on the second

Sunday of May each year. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day and

carnation(康乃馨) is regarded as the flower for mother. In China, the flower for

mother is day lily(萱草花), also known as Nepenthe(忘忧草). In addition, cleaning up

the room, doing housework and a big dinner are considered to be the best

Mothers Day gifts.

Edward Winslows account details that "they went out and killed five deer" and mentions that "our governor sent four men on fowling" and that "they four, in one day, killed as much fowl as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a week." While it is possible that turkeys may have been killed, it is more likely that ducks or geese were the primary targets.

In addition, the crops grown by both settler and Native American would have graced that early thanksgiving dinner. Corn, squash, potatoes, yams, even wheat to make bread were, in all probability, shared and enjoyed.

Today there is such a large variety of food to choose from that a Thanksgiving Dinner can feature almost any main course. True, the traditional turkey is still the meat of choice, yet goose, duck, ham, even some of the seas harvests can be used. In place of sweet potatoes, peas, greens, and even more exotic vegetables all make their way to this celebration of Thanksgiving and harvest.

The key to a Thanksgiving menu is to choose foods that will represent the idea of giving thanks for a good year, a harvesting of good fortune, and the sharing of the bounty of your efforts with friends and family. In todays world, the only limit on preparing a Thanksgiving Dinner is an individuals imagination and creativity.

它，是一道亮光，穿过黑夜，欢快人心；它，有一种无法形容的贵重，高过金银，贵过钻石。这，就是感恩。羊羔吸母亲奶水的时候是跪着的；乌鸦父母对羽毛还未丰满的小乌鸦异常的好，小乌鸦长大后，不忘父母的恩情，反哺它们……

从20xx年9月6日起，国家把每年的9月7日定为感恩节，并要求在那天学校停课，各部门停业，每个人都要回忆自己应该感谢的人，去向他们真诚地说声“谢谢”。

第二天一大早，我就换上了时尚的西装，兴高采烈地走出了家门。我先打了一部出租车，直奔程教练家。她是我的游泳教练，两年多的训练，她不仅教会了我各种泳姿，锻炼了我的身体，更教会了我做任何事情都要认真、坚持、永不言弃！

出租车一到目的地，我就赶紧拿出手机，用支付宝付给了驾驶员5元钱，并向司机鞠了一躬，说了声“谢谢！”，接着，我一路小跑，来到了程教练家。门开了，程教练一看是我，便热情地和我握手。我学着老外的样子，用英语对她说：“Thank you very much，my teacher”她也学着我说：“Thank you very much”我们俩笑成一团，然后，我拿出精心准备好的贺卡，对她说：“程教练，谢谢您对我的关心和照顾，谢谢您对我的宽容和理解。”程教练感动地直点头。

回家路上，我看到人们欢声笑语，谈笑风生，向帮助过自己的人鞠躬敬礼，连声说着“谢谢”，大街小巷热闹非凡，欢笑声遍布在城市的每个角落。

回到家，看到妈妈在厨房忙碌的身影，回想到这么多年妈妈不仅要照顾我的生活，还要辅导我的学习，想到这儿，我不禁热泪盈眶，上前紧紧地拥抱了她，并亲了亲她的脸蛋，动情地说：“妈妈，我爱您！谢谢您！”妈妈会心地笑了。

晚上，我躺在床上，回忆着感恩节里所发生的一切，心想：光口头说“谢谢”是远远不够的，我要好好学习，锻炼身体，尽自己所能，帮助别人，来回报关心和帮助我的亲人、老师和朋友。

感恩是生命对生命的惠泽。同时也是一种人生境界。我们可以怀着一颗感恩的心，去回馈社会，感动自我。

从踏进校园起，我们不曾记得多少的老师为我们呕心沥血，默默的奉献着伟大的精神，他们毫不吝啬的燃烧着自己，点亮我们的人生旅程，每节课，每次谈话，甚至每次严厉的批评都无不包含着老师对我们的关爱，可是有多少人理解老师的用心良苦呢？甚至顶撞，漫骂老师和学校的管理，对老师的关爱怀恨，深思熟虑，其实每一个人的成长，能离开父母的养育和老师的教诲吗？

感恩既是一种美德，感恩也是一个人之所认真而毫不犹豫的利用休息时间为我们补课，出习题，甚至在夜里挑灯改作业，可是我们却没有好好的珍惜，享受老师为我们所付出的成果，后悔的心在隐隐作痛。好在我苏醒时，一步一步的弥补我的错误，我认知了感恩的重要性，惟有感恩，这样你中有我，我中有你的关系，赋予我们的生命记录，使我们因回忆而美丽。

感恩的心，我们用心去行动，证明感恩的“设计”世界才会变得更加绚丽。同时我也成为了学校的义工的一员，虽然只是小小的力量，但我会用我的心与行动并列，履行我的义务。

感恩体现在我们青年学生上，是学习源源不断的动力，是面队挫折的支柱，是学习的不断进心，是成长自学的必修课，心怀感恩，能为沙漠抹上一层绿洲，感恩的心，能为自己，为别人预约春天的苏醒。

怀有一颗感恩的心，绘画我多彩的人生。

[高中生感恩节600字优秀作文

In 1620, the settlers, or Pilgrims, they sailed to America on the May flower, seeking a place where they could have freedom of worship. After a tempestuous two-month voyage they landed at in icy November, what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts.

During their first winter, over half of the settlers died of starvation or epidemics. Those who survived began sowing in the first spring.

All summer long they waited for the harvests with great anxiety, knowing that their lives and the future existence of the colony depended on the coming harvest. Finally the fields produced a yield rich beyond expectations. And therefore it was decided that a day of thanksgiving to the Lord be fixed . Years later, President of the United States proclaimed the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day every year. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day has been observed on that date until today.

The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has never changed through the years. The big family dinner is planned months ahead. On the dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes. There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and pumpkin pie. They have been the most traditional and favorite food on Thanksgiving Day throughout the years.

Everyone agrees the dinner must be built around roast turkey stuffed with a bread dressing to absorb the tasty juices as it roasts. But as cooking varies with families and with the regions where one lives, it is not easy to get a consensus on the precise kind of stuffing for the royal bird.

Thanksgiving today is, in every sense, a national annual holiday on which Americans of all faiths and backgrounds join in to express their thanks for the year s bounty and reverently ask for continued blessings.

感恩节是美国国定假日中最地道、最美国式的节日，而且它和早期美国历史最为密切相关。

1620年，一些朝圣者(或称为清教徒)乘坐"五月花"号船去美国寻求宗教自由。他们在海上颠簸折腾了两个月之后，终于在酷寒的十一月里，在现在的马萨诸塞州的普里茅斯登陆。

在第一个冬天，半数以上的移民都死于饥饿和传染病，活下来的人们在第一个春季开始播种。整个夏天他们都热切地盼望着丰收的到来，他们深知自己的生存以及殖民地的存在与否都将取决于即将到来的收成。后来，庄稼获得了意外的丰收，所以大家决定要选一个日子来感谢上帝的恩典。多年以后，美国总统宣布每年十一月的第四个星期四为感恩节。感恩节庆祝活动便定在这一天，直到如今。

感恩节庆祝模式许多年来从未改变。丰盛的家宴早在几个月之前就开始着手准备。人们在餐桌上可以吃到苹果、桔子、栗子、胡桃和葡萄，还有葡萄干布丁、碎肉馅饼、各种其它食物以及红莓苔汁和鲜果汁，其中最妙和最吸引人的大菜是烤火鸡和番瓜馅饼，这些菜一直是感恩节中最富于传统意义和最受人喜爱的食品。

人人都赞成感恩节大餐必需以烤火鸡为主菜。火鸡在烘烤时要以面包作填料以吸收从中流出来的美味汁液，但烹饪技艺常因家庭和地区的不同而各异，应用什幺填料也就很难求得一致。

今天的感恩节是一个不折不扣的国定假日。在这一天，具有各种信仰和各种背景的美国人，共同为他们一年来所受到的上苍的恩典表示感谢，虔诚地祈求上帝继续赐福。

A brief Introduction of the Chinese Spring Festival

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the pig.

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal.
