Videos from Oberhausen and Pennsylvania

Here is a video of one of the presentations at the Gymnasium at Gustav Heineman Schulzentrum on November 12 - Mrs. Zini's class talking about Thanksgiving. Later that evening, the presentations were made at the LVR-Industriemuseum for the "Thanksgiving is Coming" event. The students did a fabulous job!

So after looking at a lot of these videos on Wednesday, I thought it might be fun to show our friends in Germany what a real American Thanksgiving looks like. Using my husband's family as an example, I videotaped the food being brought to the table. All the loud talking in the background is, at least in my experience, very typical of a Thanksgiving dinner in America - family from far and wide getting together, catching up and laughing, and watching American football. I hope this gives everyone an idea of this very American holiday! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
