Thanksgiving Day!

Every year, my family celebrates Thanksgiving. Although many families celebrate this holiday, all families celebrate it in different ways. My family in particular doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary. Thanksgiving truly is a tradition for my family because every year it is the exact same. Around four o’clock in the afternoon everyone on my mom’s side of the family slowly begins to gather at my Aunt Sue and Uncle Frank’s house. Aside from my immediate family, I spend this holiday with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. When everyone first arrives, we usually just hang out and catch up on what is new in everyone’s lives. We all usually then go downstairs and gather around the fire place to watch television and talk some more. At my aunt and uncles house there is not much to do as far as entertainment goes because both of their children are grown up and live on their own. The only thing fun to do there is to play pool, so that is usually what some people do while everyone is just hanging out and talking. Most of the females then go upstairs to put all of the food together and add on the small touches. Once that is complete everyone joins at a long, elegant table, chooses their seat and a plate and then heads over to the counter to wait in line for their food. After having a delicious family meal with foods of all kinds, next comes dessert and coffee! Any kind of pie, you name it, we have it. After eating all of the women then help my Aunt Sue clean up the kitchen and put everything away. After that job is done, everyone relaxes and enjoys one another’s company for the rest of the Thanksgiving Day and of course everyone in my family is always sure to fit in time to pick on Kelsey!
