Thanksgiving Traditions

On Thanksgiving day, my mom wakes up early and starts cooking our turkey. Throughout the day we do a lot of cooking and cleaning. My sister and I peel potatoes to make mashed potatoes, my mom cooking the turkey, ham, and everything else we make for our dinner. Our full dinner usually includes:

  • Turkey wrapped in bacon
  • Mashed potatoes and gravy
  • Corn
  • Stuffing
  • Ham
  • Baked mostaccioli
  • Green beans and asparagus
  • Bread
  • Pumpkin and apple pie

Every year my aunt and uncle come over and join us for Thanksgiving. While we eat Thanksgiving dinner, we watch football and talk.  After dinner, my mom, sister, and I put up and decorate our Christmas trees, and decorate the outside of our house. At night, I go with my friends Black Friday shopping and we buy lots of clothes and shoes. The thing that I look forward to the most about Thanksgiving is being able to spend time with my family and having fun with each other. I am thankful for my family, my home, friends, dog, education, and for everything that I have in my life.
