Why We Should Celebrate Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday that comes with a great feast of very different and unique flavors.

For families across the United States, Thanksgiving is a holiday to come together with family and loved ones to celebrate the good things life has to offer. Before analyzing my own family’s Thanksgiving festivities, I hadn’t given much thought to way we celebrate and what the underlying meanings of our actions are. While some of the traditions of the holiday say something about our society as a whole, I was also able to view the implicit meanings of my family’s specific actions.

For every Thanksgiving, my mom and I and other people within my culture prepare “Soul food”.
