China has Mid-Autumn Festival. Canada and the USA have Thanksgiving Day. Many countries in the world have harvest festivals. This is the best time for the harvest—bringing all the crops in from the field. In the United States, every year, Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday of November. Because Canada is to the north(北面) of the USA, and is colder, the harvest comes earlier in the year. In Canada, people have Thanksgiving Day six weeks earlier than in the USA. The harvest brings a lot of food to the people. On Thanksgiving Day, people in America and Canada like to have a big family meal with their friends—just like Chinese people do at Mid-Autumn Festival. Many Canadians and Americans put flowers, vegetables, and fruit in their homes to say ‘Thank you’ for the harvest. At a Thanksgiving Day dinner, many Canadians and Americans will eat turkey and pumpkin pies. These are foods like the foods of many years ago. They are saying “Thank you” for the harvest that comes every year.
