But now in days you go to a thanksgiving and there is so many choices it's not even funny. Ham,turkey,rolls,mashed potatoes,macaroni and cheese, and so many more. Thanksgiving dinners have changed so much by how much food there is and what types of food there

-At seven-twenty a single flash of hard white light shot out of Geiger’s house like a wave of summer lightning.

It must seem nice being able to eat like a colonist during the First Thanksgiving, but was it always that great? The meals of today contain snacks and fun food, but people in the thirteen colonies had very simple meals. People used many techniques that are used even today to preserve food. What made it even harder was if there was a war, where people couldn’t hunt in fear of being killed. People had to rely on very easy foods when traveling. While all colonists in the thirteen colonies came from England, food differed in all the regions, especially in the New England and the Middle colonies. Food today brings people joy and is a way to socialize with peers, but back in colonial times, it was just a way of fueling the body.

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.
