Happy Turkey Day!

As you know, on the fourth Thursday of November people in the USA celebrate Thanksgiving Day. Members of the family meet around a huge dinner where stuffed turkey with gravy, cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes play an important role. Americans also enjoy American football on TV and there is a famous parade along the streets of New York.

People give thanks for all the things they have and they say "Happy Thanksgiving!". I wish you a happy day with this funny video I came across.



Here is the original song and a link to the karaoke version for you to sing alone.
