The Best American Holiday
Bill Bryson "The Best American Holiday" is all about Thanksgiving. Bryson talks about how his mom never made good meals but somehow on Thanksgiving, she pulled of some kind of miracle and the food would be great. Then Bryson goes on to say how most Americans believe that Thanksgiving has only been held on the fourth Thursday in November, but in fact it was first held in October. Abraham Lincoln changed it to the fourth Thursday in November. Bryson says in the chapter the bad thing about when Thanksgiving is over, his wife rushes him to get the Christmas decorations up.

I think Bryson is right when he says that Thanksgiving is the best American holiday. I think Bill Bryson hit it on the spot when he says that Thanksgiving is the best holiday. Any time you can eat that much food and its good food to. The good thing about Thanksgiving to is its almost time for a long winter break. I didnt know that Thanksgivivng was in October at first and Lincon changed it to November. When Bryson say that Thanksgiving is the best American holiday i think thats right.
