Thanksgiving Thing

Heavenly smells in the air, footballs on T.V, family is gathered around, and a comfortable homey feel of my grandmother’s house makes Thanksgiving one of my favorite meals of the year. I will always have memories of thanksgiving at my grandmothers. The smell that rushes your nose as you walk in to the house. So many mouthwatering smells go through the air at my grandmother’s thanksgiving. Her Thanksgiving dinner never fails to fulfill my expectations. With the whole family gathered and the dinner table full of delicious food, I can’t help but feel content.

Thanksgiving Holiday means so much to me. I love to celebrate that extended weekend with my family. On the eve of the big day, my cousins and I meet at an elder’s house and then the festivities began. This shared feast started in 1621 with the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians sharing a harvest feast ("Thanksgiving," 2016). A portion of the food can be prepared the day before. We decide who would handle what task and when it time clean up the second generation, always try to make the third generation do it. We then continue to cook and clean and reminisce of our past year. Sometimes we would bring up our childhood pranks and stories of family members that passed and present. On the day of Thanksgiving we finish cooking,

What does Thanksgiving mean to me? It would be dishonest of me to say that it is a time where I get to express what or who I am thankful for in my life. I do not think of it as a holiday where I am allowed to eat until I pass out either. In reality, Thanksgiving means time with my family. I do not just mean my parents and my siblings, I mean my whole family. I absolutely adore the fact that I have such an enormous family. Everyone comes home to my grandmother’s house on both sides of the family. Luckily, both of my grandmothers live within a five mile radius of each other. This means, after I spend time with my father’s side of the family, I can drive a couple of minutes to spend a bit of time with my mother’s side of the family. This is the

When you think of Thanksgiving, what usually comes to your mind? Thanksgiving is all about being thankful and eating great food. It is the one day of the year that no one will judge you for eating so much food that it should be humanly impossible. It is so great! Other holidays have food, but nothing like Thanksgiving. There is usually a good meal on Christmas, but the whole day isn’t dedicated to food. You don’t spend all day preparing a feast fit for a king. Valentine's Day is filled with chocolate and candy, which is good, but not near as good as the turkey on Thanksgiving. You also might go on a date to a nice restaurant, but that’s only if you have a significant other. The food would still be hard to compare with the Thanksgiving meal. Just thinking about Thanksgiving could make anybody's mouth water. I’m talking about stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, sweet potatoes and brown sugar, and then the pies! The smells and aromas of the food cooking before the dinner outways

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?

One of the conflicts in my book is that Seth’s died 3 years earlier to him getting tossed overboard the Erin Elizabeth, the boat his dad named after her after he got into a wreck that killed her. He solved the conflict in a very ugly way. He used to play outside every day, now he sits in his room playing video games. He used to eat everything his mother cooked, but when he had a meal of boiled red potatoes, green beans, and salmon, he chose to eat a PB and J. The only food he likes now are microwave pizzas, hamburgers, and hotdogs. He also blamed his father for the death. When they got into an argument, he would blame him for his mother's death, and the dad would say that he was fat or even call him obese, and tell him he was soft, a wimp,

We set up a large table for the food. By dinner time the table is filled with different foods from American to Mexican to even Italian. We all gather around the table to say grace, and propose a toast. Then we all line up to get food. I always try to get a little bit of everything, this way I know what everything tastes like and what to get for seconds. Last year one of my aunts made Mexican smoked barbecue ribs. I couldn't stop eating them, they were amazing! They were seasoned with her very own rub which consisted of plain slat, garlic, and cayenne pepper. They had this beautiful reddish glazed look, I just couldn't

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

Please join us as we celebrate Thanksgiving our girls will be serving a wonderful array of foods of course we'll have turkey and dressing mashed potatoes and all the fixings dessert and tea and linade.

The Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving feast. Basically this myth means that on the first thanksgiving the Wampanoag brought popcorn to the first Thanksgiving. The truth about this myth is that they actually didn’t bring popcorn. There’s nothing true about this myth there’s the Wampanoag’s didn’t bring popcorn simple as that. It reveals that people are easily tricked if they believed this myth. And there mindset is easy to be changed.

We all have family traditions, some of which we take pride in, some of which we dread and despise but, whether you know it or not they are what make us who we are. One of my favorite traditions that I can truly say I’m passionate for would have to be Thanksgiving dinner. The dinner for the holiday goes by in a blink of an eye because of all the enjoyment. However, the preparations that lead up to the day are long and prestigious even though they are what make the dinner so great. Since the holiday comes up before we know it, we get started as soon as the year hits mid fall.

As you sit down to a turkey diner with all of the traditional side dishes this year, you are participating in a tradition much older than the American Indians and Pilgrims. According to historians, Thanksgiving is a modern celebration that originated thousands of years ago. And, origins of the holiday can be traced across the globe.

The celebration of thanksgiving in Mexico has a very different perspective from the traditional view held in the U.S or even Canada as this event has a more religious perspective on the ritual procedure. The traditional symbols such as turkey, corn, pumpkin and beans are retained through practice but with a different purpose from their original meaning. Also, this symbols are represented through other items such as lamb, or sweet bread.

As you know in the next few day it will be November. There are many of celebration during this month but today I will talk about thanksgivings. Thanksgiving is the time that we give our expression of gratitude to our parents, our brothers and sisters, our friends and our neighbors, especially to God. In the Bible THANKSGIVING is the giving of thanks to God for everything that we receive at his hand. We receive from him our lives and the food and drink to sustain us. Every good thing in our lives comes ultimately from God and we owe him thanks for all. As part of the worship of God, thanksgiving is offered in both song and prayer. No matter how great the country we might live in, no matter how fantastic supportive from family and friends might
