Shared Thanksgiving Day traditions
Here are the five most com
mon activities Americans tradi
tionally enjoy on Thanksgiving
Day.
1. Savoring the Bird
According to the National
Turkey Federation, 91 percent
of Am ericans eat turkey at
Thanksgiving. Dating back to
New England harvest tra di
tions, turkey is the enduring
symbol of the holiday. Ameri
cans will eat approximately 675
million pounds of turkey this
holiday.
2. Reaching Out
As Americans gather togeth
er to share the year’s bounty,
families also reach out to those
less fortunate. Volunteering at
soup kitchens is a time-honored
way to express thanks and give
back to the community.
3. Football
When everyone is full from
the groaning Thanksgiving
table, many folks settle in for
football. Americans have been
playing and watching football
on Thanksgiving since the
1870s. One sarcastic reporter
noted in 1893, “Thanksgiving
...is a holiday granted by...the
Nation to see a game of foot
ball.”
4. Watching the Big Parade
In addition to football, Ameri
cans gather around to watch
the Macy's Thanksgiving Day
Parade. W hether you watch it
on TV or see it in person, the
day would not be com plete
without the balloons, the Rock-
ettes, and Santa on his sleigh.
Viewers congregate the night
before the parade to watch the
floats as they’re inflated and to
stake out a place for great sight
lines the next morning.
5. Making a Wish
Ever since the Etruscans,
people have been pulling apart
the forked bone from a turkey,
chicken or other fowl and mak
ing a wish. The Romans brought
the tradition with them when
they conquered England; the
English brought it to America.
