It is something about the holiday season that I start to reminisce back to my childhood. Most likely because of all the many festivities, I was forced to go to as a kid. I hated attending these gatherings. As a child, you could describe me best as a “home body”. At every Thanksgiving I sat in the back corner of my Aunt Tammy’s house and watched as my cousins played and the adults spoke about their past and present lives. Now that I look back, I wish I would have made the most out of these moments, but all I could do is impatiently waiting to indulge in all the delicious holiday food.

Personal Narrative- Eventful Thanksgiving
503 Words | 2 Pages
The crisp, cool, and cinnamon air filled the morning of Thanksgiving in 1987. Although I was only two years and eleven months old, I remember the scratchy, fuzzy, purple- footed pajamas that I was wearing that morning. After I woke up, I "helped" my mom make her famous orange- cranberry relish, got dressed in my cream sweater dotted with cherries and my navy pleated skirt, topped off with my favorite cream fuzz- warn tights, and before I knew it we were out the door to my grandmother's house. After an early dinner with my grandparents, mom, and dad, my grandfather and dad left to catch the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day football game, leaving the rest of us to find entertainment of our own.

946 Words | 2 Pages
The primary purpose of Thanksgiving Day is to unite together, and give thanks to God for the bounties and blessings that He gave us during the previous year. I made sure to arrive on the time I was expected to, as I knew Americans shows respect for being on time. There were five members in the family, a husband and wife, and their three children. The house was made clean, decorated with hangings and other beautiful accessories like holiday candles, and images of turkeys, and autumn fruits and vegetables, placed on several tables and the walls around the house. Another family, a couple and their two kids, were also invited as guests. Everyone was dressed in their best clothes, and was in a joyful, cheerful mood to enjoy the event. We were gathered around the table, everyone said grace and their respective thanks to God before starting lunch. It felt warm and comforting, sitting together with love, appreciation and concern for each other. The conversation flowed around the table, and nobody was left out. Even the pet of the house, a large hairy dog sat few feet away, enjoying his meal and being a part of th...

Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way.
