thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday that my family and I spend together. Usually my family comes to my house for thanksgiving so we have a lot do to get ready for it. My mom and dad usually clean up the house the night before. I don’t participate in that because cleaning is just something I do not do. Thanksgiving day my mom wakes up real early to put the turkey in the stove so it can cook all day and it is ready for dinner time. After my mom puts the turkey in she begins working on the desserts and sides. She doesn’t make all of them because usually my aunts and grandma make the sides. When it is around three o’clock my family members begin to arrive. It is usually my mom side of the family but one family from my dad side comes as well. When everyone arrives we all just hang out in my living room watching the football game and eating snacks such as vegetables and dip. This is the time where everyone catches up with each other because we don’t see each other often with our busy schedules. Around 5 o’clock we all sit down at the table and eat dinner. My favorite part of the dinner is the cranberry sauce. I just love it, it is so delicious. The mashed potatoes and corn are also really good. After we eat our main course we go on to the desserts. Desserts are usually every ones favorite but not mine. We usually have pumpkin and chocolate pie. Even though I love chocolate I always go to for the pumpkin pie. After everyone’s stomachs are nice and full we go back into my living room and watch some more television and continue to chat. Around 9 o’clock everyone goes home and I try to get to bed early so I can get up the next day for a fun filled day of shopping.
