Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I just couldn't wait till break because I have missed my family so much. I love how we get together as a family and have a feast. After eating the dining hall food here so much it was amazing how much the thanksgiving food tasted this year. When I came home I was so glad to see my parents and my dog. It seems as though families rush their thanksgiving dinner with families because they want to go black Friday shopping and get great deals. Which I don't understand black Friday anymore because all the deals are at about 6pm on Thanksgiving Day. My mom and I have been going black Friday shopping for a while now and I love it because it's a great time to have mother and daughter time. I mean my sisters and a bunch of my other family members go out and shop as well but, we always have a great thanksgiving meal together. So because a lot of my family members go black Friday shopping, we normally have our thanksgiving dinner on Friday. This year my mom made my dad and I a nice lunch on Thanksgiving Day because of us not having our family get together till Friday. When Friday comes around and we have a lot of family members over for food we like to put up a Christmas tree together. Putting up a Christmas tree in our house after eating and talking has always been a tradition in our family and I love it. Our family also likes to go around the room and say something that their thankful for. I love doing this because thanksgiving is about giving thanks to one another. Something I'm thankful this year is being accepted to Muskingum University and coming here to get my degree. Of course a lot of my family members gives thanks for everyone bringing food and coming out. This year after black Friday on Saturday, I watched the Ohio State vs Michigan University with my dad. Great win for the bucks and a great thanksgiving break with my family.
