Labor Day Cookout

 By Nate Feldman

Next Monday is the American Labor Day holiday.  This holiday takes place on the first Monday in September.  Labor Day is considered by many to be the end of the summer season in the United States.

On Labor Day, people like to have a cookout or a picnic.  They eat many types of food, such as hamburgers and cheeseburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, potato salad,  coleslaw, and many other dishes.  

However, people can eat anything they want.  Some people eat grilled chicken or chicken wings, pasta salad, and many types of desserts, such as brownies, cookies, cakes, and pies. 

I went to a cookout on Saturday.  There was very nice food at the event.  There were chips and homemade salsa.  There was a grill with many types of meat.  Many of the guests were from India, so there was rice and different kinds of curries.  

In addition to the food, there were many fun activities.  Some people played the game of cornhole.  There was also a DJ playing music.  Many people danced to the music.  

Food and Holidays: American Thanksgiving

By Nate Feldman

Thanksgiving is a holiday in the United States.  It takes place on the fourth Thursday in November. 

In the morning, people sometimes go to a parade.  Some people run in a race.  Some people play football games.

Later in the day, people eat a big feast.  They usually eat a roast turkey with many side dishes.  They often eat stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and pumpkin pie with the turkey.   They usually eat the feast with their family.

Thanksgiving is a very nice holiday in the United States.  

Here is a video I made about the Thanksgiving holiday and some thoughts people have about it.
