今天，在美国人心目中，感恩节是比圣诞节还要重要的 节日。首先，它是一个长达4 天的假日，足以使人们尽情 狂欢、庆祝。其次，它也是传统的家庭团聚的日子。感 恩节期间，散居在他乡外地的家人，都要赶回家过节， 这已经成了全国性的习俗。此外，美国人一年中最重视 的一餐，就是感恩节的晚宴。在美国这个生活节奏很快 ，竞争激烈的国度里，平日的饮食极为简单。美国的快 餐流行世界，就是一个很好的说明。但在感恩节的夜晚 ，家家户户都大办筵席，物品之丰盛，令人咋舌。在节 日的餐桌上，上至总统，下至庶民，火鸡和南瓜饼都是 必备的。这两味“珍品”体现了美国人民忆及先民开拓 艰难、追思第一个感恩节的怀旧情绪。因此，感恩节也 被称为“火鸡节”。
