Hello Mito Amity students and family! (>ᴗ•)
Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, today`s post is about another holiday that first gained traction in the United States… Black Friday! This is not actually a holiday but rather a shopping event that many stores and companies partake in. The Friday right after Thanksgiving is always designated as `Black Friday`.
The most common story behind the American Black Friday tradition goes like this: Retail companies used to record losses in red and profits in black in their accounting books. After an entire year of operating at a loss (red) stores would earn a profit (black) on the day after Thanksgiving. This was because holiday shoppers would spend so much money on discounted merchandise in preparation for Christmas! Although this story is a bit inaccurate, it is the story behind Black Friday that is widely accepted.
Since then, the one-day sale has morphed into a four-day event for the entire weekend. Other store events have spawned such as Small Business Saturday/Sunday and Cyber Monday. On Black Friday itself, stores have started opening earlier and earlier – the most dedicated shoppers can head out right after their Thanksgiving meal on Thursday night!
This retail tradition has spread to many other countries all around the world! Even in Japan, many stores and companies have begun to offer sales during the same weekend. Will you go Black Friday shopping this year? Let us know in your next Amity lesson!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Mito Amity (^<)〜☆

Thanksgiving in Japan: Kinro Kansha no Hi ⛑️🚒
Hello Mito Amity students and family! (♡°▽°♡)
Happy Thanksgiving part 4! I hope everyone enjoyed learning about Thanksgiving in Korea last week. This week we will learn about Thanksgiving in Japan: Kinro Kansha no Hi – which is actually going to be tomorrow, November 23rd!
Kinro Kansha no Hi is Labor Thanksgiving Day. It became a holiday in 1948 for citizens to express gratitude to one other for the work they have done throughout the year. This holiday originated from Niinamesai, a historical harvest festival. The history of Niinamesai goes back hundreds and hundreds of years. The first written account says that a Niinamesai took place in November 673. The origin of the ritual is believed to be much older, going back to when rice cultivation was first brought to Japan more than 2,000 years ago. Niinamesai came to be held on November 23 during the Meiji Era.
Labor Thanksgiving Day was officially established after World War II, while Niinamesai is celebrated as a private function of the Imperial Family.
A number of major events from local organizations are held on this day. To mark the occasion, children often make thank-you cards for policemen, firefighters or other municipal workers.
Are you going to give any thank-you cards to anyone on Kinro Kansha no Hi tomorrow? Let us know in your next Amity lesson!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Mito Amity (¬‿¬ )

Thanksgiving in Korea: Chuseok 🍶🌕
Hello Mito Amity students and family! (´ ω ♡)
Happy Thanksgiving part 3! I hope everyone enjoyed learning about Canadian Thanksgiving last week. This week, we will learn about Thanksgiving in Korea: Chuseok.
Korean Thanksgiving Day, Chuseok, is one of the biggest and most important holidays in Korea. Chuseok takes place during the harvest moon, which we learned about back in September! The day before and the day after are also celebrated as part of the holiday, so the occasion usually lasts for three days. Family members come together on this holiday to share food, tell stories, and give thanks to their ancestors.
On the morning of Chuseok, family members hold memorial services in honor of their relatives who have passed away. After the service, family members sit down together to enjoy delicious food. They also take some time to visit their ancestral graves to clean them and pay their respects.
There are a variety of foods that are prepared during Chuseok. One of the most significant foods that represents Chuseok is songpyeon. Songpyeon is prepared with rice powder, kneaded into ball, and filled with sesame seeds, beans, red beans, chestnuts, or other nutritious ingredients. During the steaming process, the rice cakes are layered with pine needles. It is an old tradition for the entire family to make songpyeon together on the eve of Chuseok. Other significant Chuseok foods include traditional liquor and jeon (Korean pancakes).
I hope everyone enjoyed learning about Korean Thanksgiving! Please look forward to another Thanksgiving post next Friday. Can you guess what country is next? Until then!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Mito Amity (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)
