One thing that is similar to my thanksgiving that some people also have is the food.
Most people have the custom of buying a turkey for thanksgiving. “46 million turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving” (Turkey for the Holidays). Traditionally, people eat an abundance of food resembling the pilgrims and how they had a feast based on their religion. Furthermore, there are many different varieties of food such as: turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, and dinner rolls. For dessert there is pumpkin, apple, and pecan pie. Most of the time the food is extraordinary people just want more. They might even take some and have it again later on. Thanksgiving is a feast we are blessed to

In “Uncle Sam’s Thanksgiving Dinner” and “America The Land of Opportunity”, both cartoons show different aspects of immigration. America was founded by immigrants. Our brave and heroic founding fathers set out to create a new nation. The founding fathers wanted to get away from the burdens in England and establish a new colony unlike any around. This nation would be free of unjust rule and any tyranny. They wanted citizens of the country to have rights that would never be taken away. We all came from Immigrants at some point in time. People left where they lived due to hardships and wanted best for their families. If Immigration didn't exist, America wouldn't exist.
Early one November morning a woman stared at me with utter disbelief, tears of gratitude streaming down her cheeks."Thank you," she mouthed silently to me, clutching her son to her chest. I was proud knowing that, because of my efforts, her family and many more who struggle with poverty would be able to share a Thanksgiving meal. I knew that many children in my community would not be able to celebrate the holiday as others might because their parents could not afford to buy food items, and so as Vice President of a community service club called Interact, I was inspired to provide these children with a Thanksgiving dinner. The club officers and I sat crowded around our adviser's desk brainstorming how we would collect ingredients. We decided
Thank you for your service! I admire your commitment to work full time and take college classes. I am a military brat and spent many years living on post. I have experienced not having a vehicle and walking to the exchange for both lunch and dinner. I also ate at the DFAC for many Thanksgiving Day dinners. Good luck this semester!

Happy fall! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had lots of turkey, spend time with family, and watched some football. I don’t eat turkey, so my plate was filled with mash potatoes, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, and my nana’s homemade roll. If only they served chicken for Thanksgiving… yum! What did you guys eat for Thanksgiving?
During Thanksgiving, the dining table is always set up very nicely, with matching plates, silverware, and even elegant decorations like beautiful flowers in colorful vases. Most of the time, these wonderful setups are inspired by something - weather it be a past Thanksgiving meal, or the very sophisticated “model dinner table” that is displayed so artfully in a cooking magazine. Either way, the setup of the dinner table strives to replicate and relive a certain image, just like how the ideals of the Renaissance mimicked those of the Ancient Greek and Roman times. Architecture, sculptures, and even paintings from the Renaissance certainly mimic the Ancient Greek’s appreciation of the human body, and even the characteristics of humanism and individualism that were rediscovered in the Renaissance.
It was a cold November evening when my family gathered at an uncle’s house to celebrate our Thanksgiving. One of my aunts brought her typical marshmallow yams, and one of my uncles brought their typical banana bread. Another brought Soba Salad, and another brought Spicy Kimchi Squid. As the food gathered to the dining table, just as everyone had arrived, we all gathered in the living room. My grandfather sitting on the couch as the head figure of the family brought out a book that everyone knew very well, the Bible. As we began to worship our God, in the middle of one of my grandfather’s sermon, an alluring aroma filled the room all the children, including myself, began to drool. It was of course, the main dish, the ham. As we finished our
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and people all over America are preparing for meals that will feed the entire family. Trying to pick out the right food and the best desserts can be hectic. Planning for the Thanksgiving dinner would be much easier if we had the perfect recipes everyone would enjoy.
I love Thanksgiving! It’s that wonderful time of year where you, you know, give thanks for what you have. There’s turkey, mashed potatoes, that cranberry stuff that seems obligatory at every thanksgiving table, though nobody really eats it or knows what it’s for… PARADES, and staying up late to try and avoid being crushed by the shoes of DEMENTED shoppers! So much to be thankful for. It’s such a contradictory holiday. On one hand, we’re volunteering at food banks to make sure more people have more to be thankful for. But as SOON as it’s midnight (and now even before), our mind shifts back to US! BLACK FRIDAY: where people get elbowed in the face for a 15% discount on an Xbox bundle that’s going to gather dust over the next three weeks. As
I look outside and see leaves in different hues of golden yellow, vivid reds, and earthy browns rustling in the wind. The fall season is in full swing as the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, and one thought always crosses my mind: pumpkin pie. This time of year I donate my time and volunteer to bake hundreds of 12-inch pumpkin pies needed to feed families on Thanksgiving who would otherwise go without. I have concern for those who for some reason or another have found themselves without a roof over their head, deprived of food or a warm bed of their own. As a member of the next generation, I feel I have a responsibility to make a difference and help. Baking pies allows me to not only provide families with a holiday favorite, but
