US embassy in UAE: Thanksgiving
Transcript
00:00 Thanksgiving is one of the most cherished traditions for Americans in
00:04 the United States and all over the world. It's a time that brings our families
00:08 together where we enjoy a meal and we give thanks for all that has happened in
00:12 the year prior and what leads ahead. My family often celebrates in a
00:16 traditional way. In our house we make foods such as turkey and stuffing and
00:21 gravy and desserts like pumpkin pie and we gather with our family and we enjoy
00:27 the moment. It's a nice break from the stresses of the normal work week and
00:32 it's a really an important time to give thanks. It's possible to celebrate in the
00:37 UAE in many ways. As my family does, we'll celebrate with family and friends at
00:42 home but I know there are venues across the country that offer Thanksgiving
00:47 meals and it's wherever you have friends and family I believe you
00:54 can call to Thanksgiving. It's the idea of giving thanks together with a meal
00:58 and with fellowship.
