How to say Happy Thanksgiving in Chinese

       As soon as we reach November, we have started to expect Thanksgiving. It is a big family gathering day a good deal shopping season, and nearly everybody will have a few days off from work. Thanksgiving is a western festival, it has not been listed on Chinese calender until early 2000s. Many young people usually gather together at the evening of Thanksgiving to have a party or go to restaurants to celebrate the festival, because it is not an official vacation day in China.
       How can we say Happy Thanksgiving in Chinese? Let us separate the two words first, 'happy' is called kuài lè（快乐）in Chinese, and Thanksgiving is pronounced as gǎn ēn jié（感 恩节）. But we do not say Happy Thanksgiving in Chinese; instead, we say Thanksgiving Happy, all we need to do is to reverse the word order. So we say gǎn ēn jié kuài lè （感恩节快乐）in Chinese to express the meaning of Happy Thanksgiving.   

Gǎn ēn   jié   kuài   lè !  ===   Happy Thanksgiving!
感   恩   节    快    乐

      感恩节是十一月第四个星期四，原意是为了感谢印第安人，后来这个节日被广泛的理解为感谢发生在身边的一切事物和一切人。它的重要性与圣诞节不相上下。更多信息可参考下面的网站： http://baike.baidu.com/view/2525.htm
