Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough food to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days. The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

According to the legend, Chung cake was invented by Prince Lang Lieu - the 18th Prince of Hung Emperor, in the contest of looking for new Emperor. It has become an irreplaceable cake of Vietnamese people at Tet and King Hung's anniversary (10th March of the Lunar calendar). Chung cake is made from sticky rice, pork, green beans, pepper and onions. It is wrapped in dong leaves (lá dong). The cake will be boiled for about 12 hours over a wood burning stove. In Vietnam, the process of making Chung cake is the opportunity for family to come together. All members in the family often make Chung cake together and then sit around the warm fire to boil it. Nowadays, in some big cities, the busy life of modern society prevents people from preparing the cake, however, the habit of worship ancestors with Chung cake never changes.

My name is John, and this is my story. Last year just before Christmas my family and our cousins and uncle and aunt decided to go to Perth for holiday. We went in two cars but when we were about halfway there my uncle wanted to turn round and come back. He said it was too far, and it was terribly hot too. One day it was 48°C. Even at night it was really hot. Anyway, what we decided to do was to drive back about 160km to a place where the train went through. Then we put both cars on the train and we all went to Perth by train. That was fun. It was a good train.

 We had a good time in Perth but we had to cut our holiday short. You see, while we were there my grandmother (my mother's mother) in Melbourne died. Most of us flew back but my Dad and my uncle came on the train with the cars and then had to drive back to Melbourne from Port Pirie.

It was a really strange holiday because nothing went the way we planned it.

In the end John's family went to Perth______.
