Summary

Selena Nguyen is among the thousands of immigrants in

Arizona expected to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Some

are participating for the first time, while others are adding their

own cultural twist after decades of practice. Some people feel

that Thanksgiving is for everyone, while others think that

Thanksgiving symbolizes a mode of assimilation. Zaida

Morales, 33, moved from Ensenada, Mexico, to Phoenix more

than 20 years ago. She says that her family took on

Thanksgiving because they really wanted to fit in. Eventually,

the holiday “took on the meaning that it's meant to be, which is

a moment to be with family," Morales said. For the Nguyens,

Thanksgiving this year is extra special because the family has

overcome challenges. "We thank God for what we have, how

we've been through hard times and have a better life in the

United States," Nguyen said. "That's how it became our

tradition. It's not just considered an American tradition

anymore."

Selena Nguyen es una de los miles de inmigrantes en Arizona que se espera celebren Acción de Gracias este año. Algunos participan por primera vez, mientras que otros añaden su propio toque cultural tras décadas de práctica. Algunas personas sienten que Acción de Gracias es para todo el mundo, mientras que otros creen que Acción de Gracias simboliza un modo de asimilación. Zaida Morales, de 33 años, se trasladó desde Ensenada, México, a Phoenix hace más de 20 años. Ella dice que su familia empezó a celebrar Acción de Gracias porque realmente querían encajar. Finalmente, el día de fiesta "tomó el sentido de que se supone que debe tener, que es un momento para estar con la familia", dijo Morales. Para los Nguyen, Acción de Gracias este año es muy especial porque la familia ha superado desafíos. "Damos gracias a Dios por lo que tenemos, hemos pasado por momentos difíciles y tenemos una vida mejor en Estados Unidos", dijo Nguyen. "Así es como se convirtió en nuestra tradición. No se considera más solamente una tradición estadounidense”.
