Happy thanksgiving!

By. Jina

Hi, Did you have a happy thanksgiving day? Thanksgiving is a holiday that celebrates the first harvest. Now, whole family gathers and they have a great dinner. Usually, they eat baked or roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, sweet corn, various fall vegetables and pumpkin pie.

I had a really good thanksgiving day. I, my roommate were invited to my host father’s home, and also my host mother invited my Korean friend who lives in IV alone. We met at the morning in my host house, and started to make food. My host mother made fried rice, her daughter made a carrot cake and another daughter made a cranberry sauce. My roommate, my friend and me baked cookies. After we made food, we went to host father’s relatives home. We met a lot of people, and they were so kind to us.

At first, they gave us pumpkin pie until the other families arrive, it was really great pumpkin pie, and they were talking each other. They had a pool at home, so we played pool while we waiting the other family. After the whole family gathered, we prayed and started to eat. There were two turkeys; it was the first time that I ate turkey. It was delicious. Also, there was a lot of food, such as sweet potatoes, cooked fall vegetable and macaroni cheese.

After we had a dinner, we started playing game. I do not know name of game. Someone described the word that written on the card, and the other team member guessed. The game was so fun. Their family was so crazy about the game and so loud, but it was really fun.

Thanks to my homestay family, I had a really great thanksgiving day.
