Thanksgiving: History and Celebration
Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States and Canada, where people give thanks for what they have and share meals with family and friends. It originally began as a harvest festival. The first Thanksgiving in the United States is said to have taken place in 1621 when English Pilgrims who settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts, celebrated a successful harvest with the Wampanoag Native Americans, who taught them farming techniques. The tradition of giving thanks grew over time, and in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln made it an official holiday. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, while in Canada, it is observed on the second Monday of October. Common traditions include a large meal featuring turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, as well as parades and football games. The holiday focuses on gratitude and spending time with loved ones.

Jack and the Macy's Parade
Jack, a 16-year-old boy, wakes up in New York City to the familiar sound of the city's hustle and bustle. It's Thanksgiving Day, and like every year, the family has a special tradition: attending the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on 6th Avenue. Family tradition dictates that they try to get a souvenir from one of the parade floats, in honor of their great-great-grandfather who in 1927 found a piece of the famous Felix the Cat balloon.

Jack and the Macy's Parade
Determined to find a souvenir, Jack leaves his house on 65th Street and Park Avenue. He has to be back by 11:30 am, so he thinks about the best route to get to the parade. He considers two options: walking through Central Park or going down Park Avenue. He decides to take the longer but scenic route through Central Park, hoping to avoid the crowds. As he walks, he comes across a group of people who seem frantic. Curious, he stops to ask them if they need help, even though time is running out. To his surprise, he discovers that they are not lost tourists, but the NBC news team filming the parade!

Jack and the Macy's Parade
The team is about to go live, but they need someone to interview. They ask Jack if he would like to be interviewed on national television. Excited, Jack immediately agrees. Within seconds, he is taken to the filming area and, after a brief pause, he is live! Jack tells everyone about the family tradition and his mission to get a souvenir from the parade. The team, moved by his story, gives him the NBC microphone as a souvenir. Looking at his watch, he realizes it's 11:15 am. Microphone in hand and mission accomplished, he quickly says goodbye to the audience and runs home.

Molly’s Thanksgiving Turkey
Molly, also 16 years old, is celebrating Thanksgiving in New York. This year is special for her because, according to family tradition, she is responsible for cooking the turkey. It is a great honor and an even greater responsibility, since a poorly cooked turkey would be cause for family mockery. Confident in her culinary skills, Molly heads to the kitchen while the rest of the family enjoys the football game. She carefully prepares the turkey: she cuts apples and onions, stuffs the turkey, and covers it with a honey glaze. Now, all that remains is to wait for the right time to take it out of the oven.

Molly’s Thanksgiving Turkey
Molly decides to rely on her memory to control the cooking time. She calculates that the turkey will be ready around 1 pm, just when the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which the family usually watches on television, ends. She gets ready and joins her family to enjoy the parade. At the end of the parade, Molly returns to the kitchen and observes the turkey. She's not sure if it's ready yet. She hesitates between taking it out of the oven or leaving it a few more minutes. Finally, she decides it's better to be safe than sorry and takes it out of the oven.

When she cuts it to try it, she realizes that it is cooked to perfection. Five more minutes and it would have burned! Relieved, Molly places the turkey on the table just as the rest of the family arrives in the kitchen. Judging by their expressions, the turkey is a resounding success! Molly has passed the test and earned the title of the family's "Turkey Master."
