It's just going to be chatting at the dinner table and eating till we pass out, while watching football. I was determined this will be the perfect Thanksgiving. But know I had to pick out my outfit for tomorrow. I'm ready” I said with wearing my second favorite dress. A very simple one in fact, it was made of cotton and polyester, I thought it was such a pretty and simple dress. or so I thought. I didn't know what was wrong with dress. It wasn't to tight but when I went out to show my mom and dad they stood there gawking like there was a ghost behind me.

Mere words can't describe how happy I was to cook. Tea cakes, sweet potato pie, honey glazed pound cake, Roasted turkey and leafy greens. I get to Make them all. Of course since I'm a spoiled brat I had to get my hair ready with my apron. Then and only then will I be able to cook. We were in the kitchen all day. You could just. Smell the richness of the turkey. I could almost taste the silky cream sweet potato pie. It would make your mouth water . Halfway through cooking Most of our family was already here (They were going to sleep the night) They pitched in to help, without them we would’ve been cooking through Thanksgiving.
Bags the size of buildings were under my eyes. At any moment I was going to fall over. Cooking was the fun part. Licking the batter. Playing sourds with the spatulas . Now we had to set the table rap the food and put in the fridge and actually go to sleep. It was About 10:35 when I went to sleep. I was almost sleep.

The dress was adorned with ruffles all the way around the top of the sweet-heart neckline and sleeves, and also all along the bottom. The garment also had multiple layers. One layer was of a lavender color. There was also a layer on top of that, which was made of a more sheer-material and had stripes of off-white and lavender. This second layer was subtle enough to add shiny detail, without taking away from the beautiful purple color. The dress also had a sash of the second layer’s same material, around the waist. My garment was rich in
When the great holiday of Thanksgiving comes to mind, most people think of becoming total gluttons and gorging themselves with a seemingly unending amount of food. Others might think of the time spent with family and friends. The whole basis of the holiday is family togetherness, fellowship, and thankfulness for blessings received during the previous year.
Thanksgiving today is about cooking and sharing a beautiful meal with family and friends which is far from what the first Thanksgiving was like. The first Thanksgiving was held to celebrate the first successful harvest they reaped (Source 5, Source 3).The feast lasted three days and turkey was not one of the items on the menu. The Pilgrims ate native fruits, Jerusalem artichokes, turnips, cabbage, native birds, shellfish, and Venison (source 11). Other Items did not show up on the menu until after the 1900s. The first Thanksgiving was quite different from modern Thanksgiving in many ways but one thing that hasn't changed is taking the time to be thankful for all that we have and have been
Finding focus and the true reason of Thanksgiving and other holiday celebrations can not only make them enjoyable but meaningful and magical.
Thanksgiving is undoubtedly a holiday to celebrate family. It also celebrates many other things, as the name suggests. Thanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks for the things that a person has rather than to wish for more things. Accomplishments and shiny cars are not part of the essence of Thanksgiving, as these do not have the inherent humbleness expected of the holiday. This air of humility and frugality, harkening back to the days of the pilgrims and Native Americans, is probably what lead Ellen Goodman to describe the holiday as a suppressing of individualism. However, the rift between individuality and family that Goodman describes in Thanksgiving is not as deep as she makes it seem, and Thanksgiving Day is hardly the only day of the
A big part of Thanksgiving is a Thanksgiving feast. The feast usually consists of potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peas, gravy, stuffing, salads, buns and lots of other great food. The main part of the feast is usually the turkey. Other families might have ham, roast beef, duck or chicken. The dessert that is most likely to follow the feast is pumpkin pie. Other people may choose different desserts and food depending on their customs and beliefs for which they choose to give thanks. Let’s not forget the biggest and most important reason for this holiday – giving THANKS! People usually give thanks for everything they have. Their jobs, health, families or just being alive are just a few of the things that people give thanks for.
I did not like to present an image of myself as a joyless scold on Thanksgiving, but I wished to have my views given respect and consideration. I did ...
Once everything has been cleaned up, my family members and I can relax, spend time with one another, and watch the football game. Though this year's slate of games does not look like there will be any great matchups for the upcoming Thanksgiving,
My grandmother’s favorite Thanksgiving memories included being around all her family members. Over the past few years, death, divorce, and feuds, family, Thanksgiving haven 't felt the same. One of her most memorable Thanksgiving moments was when 7 and watched her mother and father create a perfect Thanksgiving meal using the resources they had at home, due to living on a farm. She admired how everything her mother made was made from scratch. Within her town, there weren’t grocery stores or markets for miles. With no baby sister for all 13 children to take care of her children, or a car big enough to fit all of them, she had to use the resources around her. She observed her mother 's strength, dedicated, determination and independence when making the Thanksgiving meal. From that day she appreciated her mother for preparing a meal with so much love and

Thanksgiving is a holiday that is celebrated on the fourth Thursday during the month of November in the United States. Thanksgiving honors a legal holiday for people to be thankful for what they have, such as family and friends.

Big name stores such as Walmart, Macy’s, and Target are staying open on Thanksgiving to make some extra money. Thanksgiving
In a time of relentless materialism, America has become one of the largest growing economies in the world. With the growth of the rigorous economy, class divisions between the poor and the wealthy creates a further gap. Most Americans want to become rich so that poverty is not an issue. However, the poor classes pay attention to the little blessings each day that most upper classes do not. In solution to these problems, Pablo Picasso represents the American Dream for all classes by saying, “I’d like to live as a poor man with lots of money.” With increased materialism in America, rich Americans have forgotten the values of the important necessities in life. However, the tradition of Thanksgiving and spreading kindness in life help to develop
