In Brazil, there’s no such thing as Thanksgiving, but it’s useful to know vocabulary about your own culture so that you can share it with your friends in Portuguese. It’s much easier to explain something foreign when you know the right words. Let’s take a look: 
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
