I can honestly say that my normal thanksgiving is not too far off from the stock card one that you might see on a cliche T.V. show. The family comes to our house each year to get together for a nice meal. (They come to our house every year because I have family in Boston and Tampa and Lexington is almost dead in the middle) One thing that differs in my Turkey Day is that it never seems to be the same group of people two years in a row. Every year there is a part of the family that cant make it because of some reason or another, and another part of the family that comes that wasnt here the year before. One theme does remain the same though, it is either all my moms side of the family, or all my dads side of the family, never both. Its not that they dont get along great, its just thats how it usually ends up. Either way I always do enjoy thanksgiving. Between the food, family, football and break from school its hard not to enjoy it. All that being said, my favorite Thanksgiving ever was a few years ago when we decided to go to Florida over the break. It was just the four of us in my immediate family and something about that year just seemed better. Probably because I could look out at the ocean while eating Thanksgiving dinner instead of the usual cold that hits Kentucky this time of year.
