On Thanksgiving Day, people in the U.S.A. 
get together with family and friends. 
I want to welcome Harry and his daughter 
Michelle to Thanksgiving with us. 
Thank you, Dr. Stewart. 
Hello, Alexandra. 
Hi, Marilyn. Hi, Susan. Happy Thanksgiving. 
And Alexandra brought us a pumpkin pie. 
Please, sit down. Alexandra. 
Hi, Alexandra. Welcome. 
Hello, Alexandra. 
The first Thanksgiving was in 1621. 
Thanksgiving was about the Pilgrims, 
the first settlers in America. 
They shared the first harvest with the Indians 
and gave thanks. 
Thanksgiving is a day with many traditions. 
People eat traditional foods like turkey and turkey dressing. 
And fruit pies, like apple pie and pumpkin pie. 
Families enjoy modern traditions, too, 
like watching the Thanksgiving Day parade on television. 
Don't you just love it. 
Oh, and the bands, and the music. 
John Philip Sousa. I love his music. 
And people watch the afternoon football game. 
Touchdown! Touchdown! 
And Thanksgiving is a day for giving thanks. 
I give thanks for being here with my family 
and for being well so I can enjoy you all. 
Well ... I'd like to give thanks for a healthy year, 
a good job and for meeting Harry and Michelle. 
It's a special holiday, a day to be with people you love. 
We love you, Grandpa. 
I love you, Daddy.
