Korea's Chuseok Holiday

It's one of the four major holidays of Korea. This year, September 30th is Chuseok in Korea. It's a holiday similar to what Americans consider Thanksgiving, but it is so much more.

It's a family tradition going back to their roots. It's honoring their ancestors, paying respects at loved ones grave sites. Spending quality time with family by chatting and playing games. It's a time where everyone stops their every day life and actually, well hopefully, takes a day off. And of course, don't forget about the food. Everyone gathers at the head of household's home and partakes of some delicious home made delicacies.

What a wonderful holiday!
