Thanksgiving is one of the most meaningful holidays in the United States, and it\u2019s a celebration that is starting to gain popularity in other countries too. Thanks in part to the growing excitement around Black Friday<\/strong>, the traditions linked to Thanksgiving are becoming increasingly fascinating for many of us.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to celebrate Thanksgiving Day<\/strong> like a true American, here are a few tips to help you get ready for this special occasion!<\/p>\n

How Thanksgiving Day Is Celebrated in the United States<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Parade<\/h4>\n

Thanksgiving Day in the US traditionally begins with the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade<\/strong>, held every year in New York City from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm (local time)<\/strong>. Watching it live in person would be amazing, but you can also enjoy the parade by streaming it online.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/h4>\n

After watching the parade, Americans usually head to supermarkets to buy anything they may still need for the famous Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n

The Presidential Turkey Pardon<\/h4>\n

Since the mid-20th century, it has been a tradition for the President of the United States<\/strong> to \u201cpardon\u201d one or two turkeys at 12:00 pm<\/strong>, sparing them from being cooked for Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n

Cooking<\/h4>\n

Preparing Thanksgiving dinner often takes days. For this reason, many families start cooking well in advance or spend the entire day in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day itself.<\/p>\n

All About Sports<\/h4>\n

Thanksgiving has one main pastime (besides food): American football<\/strong>. It\u2019s tradition to spend the day watching football games with family and friends.<\/p>\n

Dinner Time<\/h4>\n

Dinner is the highlight of the day. Roast turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie<\/strong> \u2014 the list of traditional dishes is long and delicious!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
