thanksgiving

Hello everyone! In today's episode, I answer the question: Do Chinese people celebrate Thanksgiving? The short answer is no. Thanksgiving is not a holiday in China. However, China has its own harvest festival: the Mid-Autumn Festival. Though only a handful of countries celebrate "Thanksgiving",  a lot of cultures have harvest festivals with a family feast  focusing on family reunions and celebrating abundance. Thanks for listening. Scripts and useful expressions below. Email or comment if you have any questions! Have a nice day!

大家好，欢迎收听新一期的5分钟中文！今天这期很短。我是想很简单地回应一个问题。这两天不是美国的感恩节嘛？就有很多美国人问我，说中国有没有感恩节？中国人过不过感恩节？

传统上来说，中国是没有感恩节的。其实，你如果看世界。世界上过感恩节的国家不超过10个。所以感恩节并不是中国传统的节日。既然感恩节不是一个传统的节日，中国也没有美国人的那些感恩节传统。比如说，火鸡在中国就不是很常见。还有美国的stuffings，美国的一些casserole。当然了，在美国不同地方也有不同的感恩节传统。

那话说回来，中国人有没有庆祝类似节日的传统呢？我觉得如果非要说，那中国的中秋节算是一个收获的节日。中国人在中秋节庆祝家庭的团圆，庆祝丰收。就好像美国在几百年前用一个大餐来庆祝丰收。后来感恩节的日期定下来，然后成了美国的传统。

不过我觉得不管是哪个国家的harvest festival, 就是丰收的节日，都会有一个大餐。中国人在中秋节也会有很丰盛的食物。像美国在感恩节大家都会吃各种苹果派呀、南瓜派、火鸡、火腿、土豆泥、casseroles,、stuffings、这些都很好吃！

那关于中国人过不过感恩节，就跟大家聊到这里。简单地说，中国人是不过的。但是我觉得世界上很多文化都有这种感谢丰收，感恩生活的节日。那如果你过感恩节的话，在这里祝你节日快乐！感谢您的收听，我们下期再见！

As the holiday season approaches, many of us are eagerly anticipating those special moments with family. To keep it ALL THE WAY real, some are not and really would like to bypass the turkey and mistletoe! For many people, the holidays are about connection, laughter, and creating memories that last a lifetime. I love creating safe spaces all year round. Festive occasions can start out really great and take an abrupt turn if someone is not using emotional intelligence.  In this episode, I’m offering 5 tips for creating a mindful family gathering. I do this in under 10 minutes!  As always, this one is for you.

Welcome, friends, to the new, old, Outta Toon Podcast! Hope you enjoy your stay! Today, I'm planning a holiday dinner menu, planning a substantial haircut and planning on never watching Hallmark Christmas movies again. Yeah. Good luck with that. Let's discuss air travel and the destruction of expensive guitars and how to de-escalate conflicts at your family Thanksgiving gathering. I'm not an expert at any of those things but I'm an old white guy and I'm allowed to pontificate about things I know absolutely nothing about, right? Do me a favor and share the podcast this week. It really helps. See you next week!

Something's amiss in the AA Cafe studio. Mark and Brian sit down to chat over a cup of the recently-released, third holiday coffee at DoubleShot: Bambito Estate Red Bourbon Natural. There's apparently change in the air, and the two cohosts discuss a bit of Thanksgiving tradition: football, coffee roasting, and chicken ramen. Buy the coffee and watch the video at DoubleShotCoffee.com.

In Germany, we don't have the Thanksgiving Holiday. I learned to appreciate this tradition here in the US that I have called my new home for over 28 years. I married into a big family that grew even bigger over the past years. We all get together on Thanksgiving to enjoy each other's company and the food we bring to the table. My contribution is a traditional German side dish that my mother used to make on Christmas day; red cabbage that goes along with potato dumplings and, of course, Turkey. 

What happens if the discussions at the dinner table get heated? I take Dr. Wayne Dyer's advice, which I share in this episode.

For all of my loyal listeners, I have some giveaways. I'll explain in my podcast.
