Psalms 107:8:9 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
As I have gotten older Thanksgiving has easily become one of my most favorite holidays of the year. It 's not because of all the amazing food, fun gatherings with family and friends and football (which all of these things are great reasons) but because it allows me to reflect back on the year and in my life and it truly allows me to count my blessings.

Don 't get me wrong I love gifts, but for many years now, the Christmas holiday has been so misinterpreted and has slowly lost it 's true meaning,

I am thankful for Sabrina and Chris Boesch. These two have built a solid and lasting foundation for my children.

I am thankful for my extended family. To all my aunts, uncles and cousins, thank you. Even though we have not remained as close as we would like, we still are together.

    Thanksgiving, a holiday deeply rooted in American culture, is celebrated in accordance with the applicable tradition and rituals. Closely related to the tradition of first immigrants, Thanksgiving does not undergo any fashions and fluctuations. Thanksgiving Turkey has to be big ( 19 lbs) to feed 20 people and to provide much more food than during the regular meal (Friends). Thanksgiving dinner without turkey and typical dishes does not exist, like “4th July with no pie”(Friends). By consuming and celebrating food, people show their appreciation for all they achieved due to their social and national affiliation.…

    Every year on Thanksgiving break I have gone to my grandparents house to stay for the week. For me this is important because my grandparents live a good ways away and I barely get to see them. This became a tradition when I moved away from where they live because that's when our other traditions ended like on wednesdays we used to meet somewhere and eat dinner but we can’t do that any more so we thought that Thanksgiving break is a good time to go see them because we have off school and they can get off work. The whole time we are up there we laugh cook and have fun together.…
