I am crazy about shopping. In fact, I go shopping at least one times a week. I don’t always buy anything, but I enjoy going out and looking around. When I go to the store, I enjoy seeing all of the people. My favorite day to go shopping is Saturday. A lot of people don’t like shopping on Saturdays because almost all stores are crowded with people.
Window-shopping is my favorite thing to do. It doesn’t cost any money, and it is also good exercise because I’m walking around. I look at all of the clothes and things around me. At the end of my shopping trips, I like to sit down at a coffee shop. No matter what, shopping is always a lot fun in my option.

Turkeys
The turkey is brown with some orange-yellow feathers on the tips of wings and on the tail. The male turkey has colorful feathers and a long wattle at the base of its bill.
Every year, Americans eat countless turkeys on Thanksgiving. The White House pardons a turkey each year. The Turkey would then be free from harm and live out their days in comfort at the zoo. This tradition can be traced back to Abraham Lincoln.
Benjamin Franklin, an American famous scientist, statesman, and philosopher, thought that the turkey was more qualified than the bald eagle to represent America. In his option, the bald eagle is generally poor and often very lousy and has bad moral character, like men who live by robbing. On the other hand, he preferred turkeys because turkeys symbolized the bravery of early American settlers who fought back when being agitated b the British.

Folk Tales of Jack-o’-Lanterns
The word jack-o’-lantern comes from an old Irish story about a man named Jack who tricked Satan. He convinced Satan to climb up a tree for some apples, and then carved crosses all around the trunk so the devil couldn’t down. In order to get down the tree, the devil promised to leave Jack alone forever.
When Jack eventually died, he was not allowed to get into heaven because of his son. On the other hand, the Devil wouldn’t take Jack to keep his promise. Jack was cursed to travel forever as a spirit between heaven and hell. The Irish tale told of Jack carrying a hollowed-out turnip roaming through the darkness on All Hallows’ Eve. Nowadays, pumpkins are carved to make scary jack-o’-lanterns to “scare away” the “ghosts and goblins” that haunt on All Hallows’ Eve.
