its the right picture , but its not complete.americans celebrate thanksgiving with much enthusiasm and maintain many traditional customs. here we introduce a few of the rituals（仪式）americans typically follow on this day. thanksgiving day has been associated with communal prayers in church and in homes for centuries. attending church prayer services in the morning is the first step of many celebrators on thanksgiving day. before thanksgiving meals, some families gather together and read prayers to thank god for his kindness and the gifts he has given them in the form of friends and family.like chinas spring festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of thanksgiving . distances dont really matter as relatives return home to be with their family, no matter how far away. undoubtedly, turkey is the main course of thanksgiving dinner. at the meal, many families observe the ritual of taking turns to express what each member is thankful for.while feasts make thanksgiving a festival for individual families, parades(游行)make it a carnival（狂欢节）for the whole nation. various parades are held in many cities to honor thanksgiving. one of the largest is new yorks thanksgiving day parade. started in 1924, more than 2 million people attend the parade every year.after-dinner rituals are just as important as the meal itself, and no after-dinner ritual is more important than the football game. the usnational football league has played a special game on thanksgiving every year since its creation in 1920.its referred to as the thanksgiving classic.while chinese citizens enjoy an online shopping spree on nov11,americans flood to physical stores just after thanksgiving. many employers give their employees the day off as part of the thanksgiving holiday weekend , so shop keepers seize the opportunity to offer discounts and put items on sale. hundreds of thousands of people take advantage of the opportunity to
