Thanksgiving, by Jacob.

Being thankful is nice and a good thing to do. Here are some things I appreciate. I'm thankful for my family, my friends and a free country.

I think my family is great. My hole family is nice. My cosens and I play together. All the people in my family like me.

Another thing is I am thankful for my friends. We all play together. Everyone is smart. My friends and I share secrets.

I believe in a free country. Everyone in the country can choose for themselves. Freedom is a wonderful thing. It is nice to be able to go where we want without restrictions.

These are some things I am thankful for and I'm thankful for a lot of other stuff.

Wow! You do have a lot to be thankful for. When I was younger, I used to play with all my cousins at my grandma's house on Thanksgiving. There are 26 of us. We are all grown up now, but we used to play all kinds of games together, and make a little bit of trouble. I'm thankful that I have a big family. I'm also thankful that I live in this country. There are a lot of good things happening here. I hope you have a good thanksgiving!

Hey Jake..

We dont have thanksgiving here in Australia. Maybe you can tell me why there is thanksgiving there in the USA? I hope you have a great holiday. Your Mum says that your a really good boy and very clever too! I guess that is something to be thankful for too.

Have a great day mate! (from a thankful friend in Aussieland)

Dear mr Phenix

what! why dont you have thanksgiving? the usa celbrates it because the pilgrims came to the usa and made friends with the indians. i dont no if the pilgrims made it to where you live. they probably just passed it by because they were on their way to the usa. today we were talking about pilgrims in class.

dear miss kelly

i wish you have a good thanksgiving too!

(Dharma here...I swear, I'm not making this stuff up...this is all jake's work! ...the passed Australia by!!)

Jake,

Happy T-Day. My family is much smaller than yours, and very far away, but some friends here are putting a feast together. I do not know what you get to eat for T-Day, but one of my friends makes a real, proper turkey with cornbread stuffing; another is a vegetarian and brings this lentil stew which is delicious. They invited me to eat all the good food, so I am very thankful, like you, to have good friends.

Also, I am thankful to you for reminding me.

Well thankyou Jake for teaching me something today! Umm we werent discovered by pilgrims but by Captain Cook who went back to England and then the English came here with a boat load of convicts to put them here like being in a prison! We have Aboriginals here but they were never treated well by the English people. Maybe the pilgrims should have come here instead of passing us by!

Well I guess you have a lot of things to be thankful for and so do I .. so tell me Jake can I come over for thanksgiving??

Hello Jake. It is good that you have so many things to be thankful for. And freedom is one of the best things isnt it?

Enjoy your thanksgiving day.

(By the way, here in Vanuatu we dont celebrate thanksgiving either. Maybe because we're so close to Australia?)

Thank you. I've seen pictures of Henry and he's a very handsome dog. Maybe some day you can introduce Henry to my girls, Aji and Umji. They love to play.

Hey, Jake, it's funny but although I'm waaaaaay older than you, I'm thankful for pretty much the same things you are!

I hope you and your family have a great day tomorrow!
