Thanksgiving is always on the fourth Thursday in November in the United States. 
In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They went to the New World in search of religious freedom. 
The Pilgrims’ first winter was very hard, but the Indians taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to hunt and to fish. 
When the next fall came, the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. This was the first Thanksgiving. 
In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. It is a time when families are together and have a celebration dinner, with turkey, corn bread and pumpkin pie.

A chant for Halloween:

BLACK SHADOWS

The night is dark, the wind is high,

Now the Black Shadows come creeping by!
Making a strange, dreadful moaning cry!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

A witch, perhaps, pull your hair,
Maybe a ghost give you a scare!
But of the Shadows you must beware!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

A Jack-o'Lantern look at you,
Around the corner, you hear a "Boo!"
Do the Black Shadows come after you?
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

Now a Shadow deep and black,
Try to grab you and then attack,
You must run quickly, and don't look back!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo!

The night is dark, the wind is high,
Now the Black Shadows come creeping by!
Making a strange, dreadful moaning cry!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
Ooooooo! Ooooooo!
BOOOOOO!
