    SHOULD WE CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING IN ECUADOR ? Explain your answer.
    Yes, We should celebrate Thanksgiving day
    We remember this holiday in USA is to thank God for the blessing of the year and why not we join to thank God of all the things that he gives us during the year like the life, the food, the clothes, the love our family, our friends, and all blessings received by him

    ResponderEliminar
  9. Yes, we can celebrate because not only is a national tradition in USA it can be in another countries. It´s a day that not only americans can claim because they can share with us, then the ecuatorians should thanks for the life that remains, by the health, for the life, for the family, etc..

  11. This is a tricky question. I wouldn´t have an answer because I have statements on both sides. We should celebrate Thanksgiving in Ecuador because we doneed to thank God for what he gives us. But it shouldn´t be a national holiday because it is their celebration. Pilgrims didn´t come here, they went to the U.S. Ecuadorian Indians didn´t taught how to grow corn, American Indians did. So, it´s their story, not ours. If we want, we can have a dinner with our families, but lets leave it there.

    Yes, Because in Thanksgiving, you thank God for all the things that happened in this year and you must be grateful for what you have. In Thanksgiving, you also share with your friends and family and that is why I think we should celebrate Thanksgiving in Ecuador.

  16. I think that we don't have to celebrate another countries celebration. We are part of this beutiful country, we are not a place that don't have his story, heroes or celebrations. We are a indepentiend country, Ecuador does not depend of other countries. If my memory does not fail me, Ecuador is one country and USA another. Is true, USA is a very important country, but that doesn't mean that we have to copy their celebrations, like halloween or thanksgiving. I don't understand why so many ecuatorians celebrate another countries celebration, while many estadounidenses doesn't know there is a country called Ecuador. Because all this reasons, we should forget thanksgiving and halloween, and give more importance to the culture of our beutiful, little but beutiful country.

  32. I think that the thansgiving day is a very important day because in this day we do not say thank you for the thinks that we have, we share with the other people that does not have anything,and is not fair that this important holiday only one country can celebrated .Also I think that we don´t need a special day to say thank you or share with our family because we have to do this everyday.

  34. I think that we should celebrate in Ecuador Thanksgiving, because we can say thankyou to God of all he create and created in our life that we life. Some of the people don´t like to celebrate Thanksgiving because they say that we are coping a celebration of United States, or because we have to celebrete only our celebrations and cultures, but in my opinion we have to celebrete Thanksgiving all the years.
