In November there are some festivities like Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. Thanksgiving is a traditionally American holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It's a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. In this day the families and friends get together for a special meal that includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have. There are some parades in cities and towns on or around this day. This parades or festivities also mark the opening of Christmas shopping season. This is a long weekend of four-five days when schools and all commercial and work activities are closed. Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It isn't a federal holiday, but it's one of the major shopping days. It's called 'Black Friday' because black is the color that indicated a profit.
IT'S THE TIME OF SHOPPING! :)
Pancake is a thin, flat cake prepared from butter and cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan. Pancakes exist in several variations in many different local cuisines. Most pancakes are quick breads, though some are made using a yeast-raised or fermented butter. Pancakes can be eaten at different times of the day depending on local traditions. In the USA, it is typically eaten at breakfast or as brunch. It is also binner (breakfast for dinner). In the Middle Ages, pancakes also known as frayse, became associated with Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, which is the last Tuesday before Lent when rich foods may not be eaten. Therefore, people used up all of their rich ingredients, for instance milk and eggs, before the fast so that they did not go to waste. Shrove Tuesday occurs the first Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, usually February 2nd or March 9th. It officially ends the season of Epiphany and is the vigil for the starting of Lent.
