感恩節在改變中
感恩節在每年十一月的第四個星期四，是美國的國定假日，為了紀念清教徒和感恩豐收。，
感恩節也叫火雞節，傳統中家庭和朋友會聚在一起，吃一頓豐盛的火雞大餐，包括火雞，馬鈴薯，南瓜派，蔬菜。並祈禱表達感謝生命中所得到的祝福。
現在，一些人會因為四天的假期安排旅遊，或到大型商場購物，尤其黑色星期五的大特賣，人潮衝進Walmart和Target商場，它們正推出瘋狂清倉大促銷。加州利弗摩的Paragon Outlet新開幕，更是擠到人山人海。感恩節假期充斥著商業廣告和商業活動。
大量的移民來自不同的國家，種族，宗教，文化。就如中國人對慶祝農曆八月十五日的中秋節比感恩節更有感覺，對多數中國人來說，他們不在乎感恩節晚餐吃的是火雞還是雞。感恩節原始的意義正在改變中。
