The Big Event: Manhattan Thanksgiving



Rich New Yorkers pass up the Pilgrim's feast for a spot of serious shopping.

In America, Thanksgiving is the festival for families. Remember

Steve Martin, desperate to get home for his Thanksgiving turkey in Planes, Trains and Automobiles? The tradition began with the Pilgrim Fathers who gave thanks for having survived a year in the New World in the company of the then unsuspicious Indians who had shown them how to grow pumpkins, the better for making pumpkin pie.

Nowadays, Thanksgiving has an even deeper significance. It is the biggest spending weekend of the year, anxiously monitored as an indicator of the economic health of the nation. Americans have a partiotic duty to go out and shop. Every department store, every mall, every boutique has a sale.

Travel people like to put about the idea that New York prices are so much lower than ours that you can actually save money by going there on a shopping trip. This is a myth.

I found a real Thanksgiving treat - skating in Central Park.

About My Holidays

If you don't knowthe Greek Islands, why don'tyou make this year the year when you discover a combination of sun, sand and sea that you'll never forget?

If you are young and active and you want to enjoy a holiday in the sun try Create. We promise you'll have a wonderful time. Swim in the clear water of the Mediterranean by day; and at night, there are hundreds of night-clubs and discotheques where - who knows? - you may find a boy or a girl of your dreams?

(from " Incentive English " by W. S. Fowler, J. Pidcock and R. Rycraft)

I don't like beaches much and I don't like sitting about doing nothing. But I do like swimming. And my father is a fantastic swimmer, you know, for style, and for ease and elegance, although he hasn't swum for years. But when I was a child I remember so often going to the baths with him and he was marvellous.

(from " Have you heard" by Mary Underwood)

That's hisideal holiday togo camping somewhere wild, to the remote park or Lake District, and I enjoy that too if the weather is O.K., but we were very unlucky last June and it was really rotten... It was freezing cold and we were sitting in the tent absolutely frozen to death and the wind was so strong that we couldn't dare use the burner for cooking...

(from " Listen to this " by Mary Underwood)
