Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada, with friends and family. Thanksgiving allows us to take time to be thankful and show appreciation to our family for all the blessings we have in our lives.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it brings families together for delicious food and lots of fun. This time of year, is special because the meaning of Thanksgiving means “be thankful."
I am often very thankful. I am thankful for my family and my friends. Often it is easy to overlook how not everyone is as fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends on this day or have a table full of food and a warm safe home.
A traditional Thanksgiving meal includes turkey, which is the main course of the meal, along with many other tasty foods like stuffing, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, ham, string beans, cranberries and of course, it wouldn't be traditional without our desserts such as apple pie and pumpkin pie with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
I am sure most families put unique touches on their Thanksgiving Day feasts. In my family we play fun games after we eat and of course football is on in the background.
I wish everyone a great Thanksgiving with their family and friends!
