Thanksgiving is celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday of Nov ember. The month of November is in autumn, the main season for harvesting crop s.

The writer O. Henry called Thanksgiving the one holiday that is pur ely American. It is not a religious holiday. But it has spiritual meaning.

Thanksgiving began with the first European settlers in America. The y gathered their crops, celebrated and gave thanks for the food.

Tradition says Pilgrim settlers from England celebrated the first T hanksgiving in 1621. There is evidence that settlers in other parts of America held earlier Thanksgiving celebrations. But the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving story i

s the most popular.

The Pilgrims were religious dissidents who fled oppression in Engla nd. They went first to the Netherlands. Then they left that country to establis h a colony in North America. The Pilgrims landed in 1620 in what later became k nown as Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Their voyage across the Atlantic Ocean was difficult. Their first m onths in America were difficult, too. About one hundred Pilgrims landed just as autumn was turning to winter. During the cold months that followed, about half of them died.

When spring came, the Pilgrims began to plant crops. An American In dian named Squanto helped them. When summer ended, the Pilgrims had a good harv est of corn and barley. There was enough food to last through the winter.

The Pilgrims decided to hold a celebration to give thanks for their harvest. Writings from that time say Pilgrim leader William Bradford set a dat e late in the year. He invited members of a nearby Indian tribe to take part. T here were many kinds of food to eat. The meal included wild birds such as duck s, geese and turkeys. That thanksgiving celebration lasted three days.

As the American colonies grew, many towns and settlements held than ksgiving or harvest celebrations.

February 14th is a complicated but interesting holiday. First of al l, St. Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. On V alentine’s Day people usually send romantic cards to someone they love or want to be loved by. The cards are called “valentines”. They are very colorful, of ten decorated with hearts, flowers, or birds, and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside. The basic message of the verse is always “Be My Valenti ne”, “Be My Sweet Heart” or “Lover”. A valentine is often anonymous, or so metimes signed “Guess who”. The person receiving it has to guess who sent it. This can lead to interesting speculation. And that’s half the fun of valentine s.

One of the symbols of St. Valentine’s Day is the Roman god of Love, called Cupid. Cupid is often printed on the card; he is a winged infant, not w earing anything, poised to shoot his arrow into a heart. He would shoot an arro w of love into a person’s heart to make the person fall in love immediately, m aybe with the first person to come along. Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts, holding them together. So on February 14th not only do we have pict ures of the Christian St. Valentine but we also have pictures of the non-Christ ian Cupid, the Roman god of Love.

But it is from the Christians that we get the stories about St. Val entine’s Day that most people have come to believe. One story is about a Chris tian man whose name sounded something like “Valentine.”He lived around AD 250. At that time the Roman Emperor, Claudius II, refused to allow any Roman so ldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever. Christian couples came to Vale ntine to be married. So Valentine would marry them in a Christian way. He was d iscovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote no tes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window o f his prison. And the leaves were shaped like a heart.

Using a public telephone may well be one of the minor irritations o f life, demanding patience, determination and a strong possibility of failure, together on occasion with considerable unpopularity.

The hopeful caller (shall we call him George?) waits till six o’cl ock in the evening to take advantage of the so-called “cheap rates” for a lon g-distance call. The telephone box, with two broken panes of glass in the side, stands at the junction of two main roads with buses, lorries and cars roaring past. It is pouring with rain as George joins a queue of four depressed-looking people. Time passes slowly and seems to come to a standstill while the person immediately before George carries on an endless conversation, pausing only to i nsert another coin every minute or so.

Eventually the receiver is replaced and the caller leaves the box. George enters and picks up one of the directories inside, only to discover that someone unknown has torn out the very page he needs. Nothing for it but to dia l directory Enquiries, wait patiently for a reply down the number given.

At last George can go ahead with his call. Just as he is starting t o dial, however, the door opens and an unpleasant-looking face peers in with th e demand, “Can’t you hurry up?” Ignoring such barbarity, George continues to dial and his unwanted companion withdraws. At last he hears the burr-burr of th e ringing tone, immediately followed by rapid pips demanding his money, but he is now so upset that he knocks down the coins he has placed ready on the top of the box. Having at last located them, he dials again: the pips are repeated an d he hastily inserts the coins. A cold voice informs him, “Grand Hotel, Chalfo nt Wells.”“I’ve an urgent message for a Mr. Smith who is a guest in your ho tel. Could you put me through to him? I’m afraid I don’t know his room numbe r.”

The response appears less than enthusiastic and a long long silence follows. George inserts more coins. Then the voice informs him, “I’ve been t

rying to locate Mr. Smith but the hall porter reports having seen him leave abo ut a minute ago.”

Breathing heavily, George replaces the receiver, just as the knocki ng on the door starts again.
