Canadian Thanksgiving ^^

        After doing some research, I have learned that thanksgiving is about the harvesting season and being thankful for what you have for the past years as long as you are born. It is also a day where people get together with their friends and families :) They also eat all kinds of food like turkey, salad etc. Strawberries, pie, grapes are also served. Most importantly is the turkey and the pumpkin.

Yusheng
       Just like Thanksgiving, families and friends also get together during Chinese New Year. But, Chinese New Year is celebrated in a week, and during that seven days, we visit almost everyone we know. We also have a dish called "Yusheng", it is a must in Chinese New Year, like how turkey is a must during Thanksgiving. During Thanksgiving, there is Thanksgiving dinner, and during Chinese New Year, we have a dinner which is called reunion dinner, its a dinner where we eat with our closest families,
tang yuan
     
       During the reunion dinner, we serve food like dumplings, tang yuan, fish, spring rolls, glutinous rice cake which is called "nian gao". If I celebrated Thanksgiving, I would of course serve turkey. I would also serve fruitcake and pie <3 Since I love mushroom soup, I would serve it. Fruit salad, mashed potato...I am getting hungry. :(

         I am thankful that I have the internet xD Because without it, I would't make it through school. I would also be bored everyday at home, because without the internet, I wouldn't have youtube. I am also thankful that I have limbs and I am normal with functioning eyes, nose, mouth and ears. :)

         To be honest, I have never celebrated Thanksgiving before, perhaps I can give it a try with my friends and family when I have the chance. :)
