In the United States, November is time for Thanksgiving and giving thanks. We have many traditions based on food and family. Thanksgiving is celebrated in different ways in different cultures. Many of these holidays are centered around the harvest and happen around the same time of year as our American Thanksgiving. Let’s learn about some other cultural traditions this month!

This weekend, we celebrate Germany’s Erntedankfest by making a holiday harvest crown. In this annual celebration, church services, huge parades and music in a traditional fair atmosphere are used to give thanks for the gifts of the harvest.
