Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Authors: Robert May (lyrics), Johnny Marks (music)

You know Dasher, and Dancer,
Prancer, and Vixen,
Comet, and Cupid, and
Donder and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

Thanksgiving Day

Hoy se celebra en EEUU el día de Acción de Gracias. A continuación tenéis información extraida de varias fuentes sobre esta fiesta tan popular también en otros paises (aunque en distinta fecha):

American Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November. This year Thanksgiving will fall on Thursday November 27, 2008.

The first Thanksgiving in the USA was a feast in 1621 shared by the Pilgrims (who had recently settled Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts) and the Wampanoag Indians, who shared their corn, squash, and wild turkeys. This first feast was not repeated until over a decade later. Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln.

In Canada, Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday by the Canadian Parliament in 1879. There is celebrated on the second Monday in October.

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons.
