Thanksgiving

To me, Thanksgiving is the start of the holiday season.  It is a day to remind you all of the things you need to be thankful for, and cherish them.  I am especially thankful for Thanksgiving this year, because last year on Thanksgiving, I had the flu.... so I didn't get to spend time with my family or eat any yummy food.  On Thanksgiving, I always go to my Grandma Sue's with the rest of my dad's side of the family; which is just, my mom, dad, sister, aunt, uncle, and two cousins.  We usually eat regular Thanksgiving food: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cheese potatoes, mac and cheese, rolls, a million different kind of pies, and the list goes on.  The past traditions that my family usually celebrates is after eating a big meal, we all watch "Christmas Vacation."  However, this year I think Thanksgiving will be a little different.  We celebrate Thanksgiving because we are thankful for all that we have and it is when new land was found and an exchange was made between the pilgrims and the Indians.
