The United States is a young country. It is more than two hundred years old. Americans like new ideas. They built the first skyscrapers and they put the first man on the Moon. They like to be modern: to live in modern cities, in new houses, to have new cars.

At the same time, Americans love old things. They like to visit historic houses and museums; they rebuild old places and remember the early days of their country. They are interested in old traditions, but they are good at making new traditions too. The people of the United States come from many different places in the world. In one city you can find people whose parents or great-grandparents came from Africa, Asia, South America, and every European country. These different people brought to their new land their traditions and their lifestyle.

Americans have a lot of festivals of the Old World, but there are new American festivals and traditions as well. For example, Thanksgiving1 is an American holiday. The tradition goes back to the year 1621 when they decided to have a thanksgiving dinner for all the people. They wanted to thank God for many things.

It was a difficult year, but the people still had food to eat. They also wanted to thank the American Indians who helped them.

Today Americans have Thanksgiving dinner on the fourth Thursday of November. They usually eat turkey and sweet potatoes. Thanksgiving is the day when families get together.
