THE STORY OF THE FIRST THANKSGIVING

Each year, on Thanksgiving day, a huge parade takes place in the streets of New York City. There are giant helium-filled balloons, marching bands, songs and muscial performances Families watch it on TV.

MACY'S DAY PARADE

Each year, the President of the United States receives a gift of two live turkeys. At a White House ceremony, the president traditionally "pardons" the turkey so they can live on a farm.

In Puerto Rico, every school, some universities and companies have a "Running Turkey Race". Whoever finishes in first place, wins a turkey to take home!
