Happy Chuseok-Korean Thanksgiving Day!

To all of our Korean Readers and Families with Korean children, Happy Chuseok!

Chuseok (추석) is by far the biggest and most important holiday in Korea. It is a time when family members from near and far come together to share food and stories and to give thanks to their ancestors for the abundant harvest.

Here are a few links for more information about Chuseok.
