Happy Thanks giving Day.

Each Thanks Giving Day which is the 15th day of lunar August, my mom prepares new rice powder to make a kind of Korean rice cake, Songpyeon. After mom finished preparing materials
for songpyeon, all family members sat together around our table to make Songpyeon. My grandmother used to talk us that if we make songpyeon well, you would have a pretty daughter after you marry. My grandma's rice cake was really pretty and delicious. Lots of our relatives visit our home to share talking and some joyful game, Yut, which is a kind of stick game. All inside of our house filled with various food smell: savory Korean pan cakes, sweet songpyeons ,traditional beverage," a sweet rice drink", and etc. Usually, my sister goes back to her workplace earlier than other guests who visit their home for the holiday. So, I was so sad. For the holiday, lots of people head to their hometown at the same time, this brings traffic jam; however. people repeat this event to share their thank on Thanks Giving Break.
