11/8-11/12 Thanksgiving

My family and I celebrate Thanksgiving pretty simple and laid back. We don’t do anything over the top or huge. Not many of our family members get together. Usually it’s only me my sister and my mother. It’s nice because we can all fit easily and there is more food for everyone. We all meet at my mom’s house and eat around noon. My mom wakes up early and starts to get the food ready. As the food cooks the smell of the house is great. We eat the usual meal on thanks giving with turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. There are always the sides of rolls and vegetables, and much more. I always load up my plate and try to eat as much as possible. At the end of the dinner we clean up and start to put the food way. This is the worst part because you’re all stuffed and just want to lie down and rest. But you can’t and have to clean the dishes and wrap the food and put it away. What’s nice about all the left over is that it means plenty of turkey sandwiches for the future. Thanksgiving is such a warm atmosphere and a great time to get the family together. It’s a happy holiday were everyone is excited for the food and can’t wait to eat the turkey. For some reason it is special on thanksgiving even though you can cook it whenever you want.
