Thanksgiving with the Watsons People came to America from every country in the world and brought the traditions of their ancestors with them. Thus， most American traditions are not really American. But Thanksgiving is different because it started in America. So it is a truly American tradition. Life provides many good and bad things. Every year， in November， Thanksgiving Day reminds us of the good things in life， and people are thankful. On this day people usually eat turkey and great quantities of other foods. Jesse has decided to spend Thanksgiving with David and Elizabeth Watson because he likes them， and because he cannot go to his parents home in Chicago. Elizabeths nickname is Betty， and people usually call her that. She is the secretary of Jesses boss. Jesse got to know the Watsons two years ago and he and Dave have become good friends. Sometimes they go fishing or to a ball game together. The Watsons live in a small apartment in a suburb of New York City. The offices where Betty works are in downtown New York， and she has to take a bus and two subway trains to go to work every day. It takes her about one hour to get there. She finds the trip boring and tiring. She wants to stay home in order to take care of the family and enjoy the children. The Watsons have three children. Their daughter Sue is in the fourth grade and their son Paul is in the second grade. They also have a two-year-old daughter， Ann. |
