Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving table always looks like how you would imagine it to look. We have rolls, cranberry sauce, yams, mashed potatoes, gravy, some sort of meat like ham or turkey, a nicely set table, candles, and a pretty centerpiece. What I love most about this holiday is the preparation leading up to the feast. I love the hustle and bustle in the kitchen trying to make everything perfect, setting the table, and sitting down to toast everything we have. The warm conversation with family and friends throughout the day is what makes thanksgiving my favorite holiday; I know I will carry these memories with me forever. I will also remember the funny moments, like when we have to run to the store on Turkey Day itself to pick up last minute ingredients that we forgot, or trying to watch the parade every year and getting bored after a few minutes and turning it off. My Thanksgiving sounds pretty generic and traditional, but that’s why I like it. I am not normally one for tradition, but I have always liked that on thanksgiving people stop for a second to give thanks, eat and have fun, and enjoy with family.
