My Favorite Holiday is Thanksgiving
By Mary Mendez
Thanksgiving Day is always celebrate the last Thursday of the month of November in the United States. On Thanksgiving Day we take time to give thanks for the blessings we received. I really dance the whole night.
Also, I have four days off. This is my favorite part because I don’ t work and I have time more to stay with my family. I can go anywhere-- maybe go to church, go shopping or visit some of my family.
Thanksgiving Day is a perfect day to think about all good things we have in life and enjoy the time we share with the family and friends.
