Thanksgiving Week

                     Thanksgiving Week 


Over the week of thanksgiving I didn't do much. I went to work for Monday, Sunday, and Tuesday. The rest of the time I just played video games. I did have to read a whole book for English, and create a lab report for my pbs class. I spent most of my thanksgiving playing games with my friend Axel. We watched lots holiday comedy movies like Adam Sandler's eight crazy nights. I didn't go anywhere, we usually go to my aunts house where she makes a ham, along with mashed potatoes and other thanksgiving standard foods, we have come to recognize. What we did do though, was eat together as a family. The only thing is that we do this almost everyday already, We are used to eating together. The only thing is that we didn't eat what people usually eat for Thanksgiving. It was still fun though because my dad had my brother's close our restaurant early so that we could all be home. For the first time in years my brother decided to play video games with me. We played for hours and hours on end, it was one of the best times I've ever had. The only thing that was bad is that my brother ended up hurting his back so we had to stop.

Thanksgiving

                      Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is the day that we spend time with our families and eat with them, even though we should do this normally. Most people spend the whole week of thanksgiving together doing things like playing football, or bike riding, things like that. Thanksgiving was made an official holiday in 1789 when George Washington when he issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation. Several other places around the world, like Canada, also celebrate a holiday that is similar to that of the thanksgiving we celebrate. Over the years we have come up with essential traditions for Thanksgiving. For example eating a turkey and stuffing on Thanksgiving has become a staple. Although I believe that as long as you you keep what Thanksgiving is supposed to sentimentally, it doesn't matter what your tradition is. You just have to absolutely be with your family and loved ones, or else Thanksgiving just isn't what people end up making Thanksgiving to be.
