holiday = feriado
Thanksgiving Day = Dia de Ação de Graças
turkey = peru
cranberry sauce = molho de oxicoco
pumpkin pie = torta de abóbora
mashed potatoes = puré de batata
sweet potato = batata doce
stuffing = recheio
Piligrims = peregrinos/colonos/colonos americanos
Native Americans = índios/indígenas
parade = desfile/parada
