Labor Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday in Japan, celebrated on November 23rd. It's a day to honor laborers, celebrate production, and give thanks to one another for working and supporting society.

1. Another expression: it's a day when we honor
2. Should use 'laborers' to refer to workers.
3. Should use present simple to match present simple 'honor' in the sentence.
That’s a wonderful holiday! It’s nice that Japan has a special day to appreciate everyone’s hard work and contributions to society. It reminds people to value cooperation and gratitude in everyday life. How do people in Japan usually celebrate Labor Thanksgiving Day?

That's a good question. We don't usually have big events, but people take the day off to relax and show appreciation for work. Children sometimes give thank-you cards for their parents, and most families enjoy having a special meal.

1. Should use preposition 'to' here: give something to someone.
It’s nice that the holiday provides a designated day to relax and show appreciation within the family. Besides the special meal, are there any specific foods or traditional dishes that Japanese families commonly prepare or buy to celebrate Labor Thanksgiving Day?

I have never heard of any meals that are specific to the Labor Thanksgiving Day. I guess there's no such thing. I believe that every family enjoys home-made dishes on the day.

1. Article in not needed when talking about a holiday in general.
I see! It’s nice that each family can celebrate in their own way with homemade food. Then, how do you usually spend the day with your family?

I usually spend the day having special dinner with my family. However, it's not a day off for me, it's a regular working day on my schedule. I don't really feel that the day is special.

1. Article is needed when using adjective 'special', having a special dinner, or having dinner.
I understand that. Still, sharing dinner with your family sounds like a meaningful tradition. Given that, in your opinion, why do you think Japan continues to celebrate Labor Thanksgiving Day even though it’s not as festive as some other holidays?

That's a good question. I don't know how much you know about Japan's public holiday system, but some of them don't really have any special meaning. Instead of having special meanings, we Japanese tend to think about them more deeply. I think this comes from our customs and spirituality.
