It is said that the Chinese are the only people other than North Americans who celebrate Thanksgiving. American teachers have been teaching kids about this holiday and how America was settled by Pilgrims for several decades now, and it has caught on among younger people and Christians in China.

Picking up on this American holiday, Chinese people generally think this is a time to have a Western meal and thank friends, family, workmates, and teachers or bosses. They call it "Gan'en Jie" (感恩节, literally: 'thanks for grace holiday'). So foreigners in China might hear people say "thank you" and receive a small gift.

We at Windchimes just want to take a moment and thank YOU, our loyal customers, for coming back time and time again! We appreciate your business so much and hope that we can serve you into the future!

Please enjoy your time with family and friends this Thanksgiving and, like always, enjoy great food!
