Almost every
major city has an event on Thanksgiving. The biggest and most famous parade is
in New York, but other cities are organizing theirs too. For example, in Los
Angeles, the parade takes place on the red carpet. In Chicago, the parade is
sponsored by McDonald's. All three parades in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago
are broadcast nationwide on television. The first Thanksgiving parade in the United States was held in
Philadelphia in 1920.
The Macy's store
holds a huge parade in New York every year. Millions of Americans watch this
parade broadcast on television - it is the largest parade in the United States.
This tradition began in 1924 when zoo animals were reportedly carried through
the streets of New York. At that time, over two million people came to the
parade. Already three years later, live animals were replaced with decorated
platforms.
The most distinctive feature of Thanksgiving
is the roasted turkey, which the family father customarily cuts when baked. For
Americans, this bird is as important as the Christmas Eve carp in Poland. About
46 million turkeys are eaten in the United States each year on Thanksgiving.
The turkey must not be missing on the Thanksgiving table. Note that on
the first Thanksgiving in 1621, there was no turkey. Probably a different type
of poultry was served then. Nowadays, every table has to have a turkey during
Thanksgiving. Stuffed turkey comes with a variety of toppings such as cranberry
sauce. A typical Thanksgiving dinner
also includes mashed potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie.
