1. 空格后为名词countries，需形容词修饰，给出的形容词中Western意为“西方的”，符合“西方国家”的语境，故填Western；
2. 空格前有定冠词the，后接名词Thursday，需序数词，fourth意为“第四”，符合感恩节在11月第四个周四的常识，故填fourth；
3. 句子缺少谓语动词短语，结合语境，travel far意为“远行”，符合“和家人一起远行庆祝节日”的逻辑，故填travel far；
4. 固定搭配give presents意为“给礼物”，主语为We，一般现在时，故填give；
5. 空格前为形容词性物主代词our favourite，需名词，moments意为“时刻”，符合“分享美好时刻”的语境，故填moments。
