My Thanksgiving Routine

On November 24th it is thanksgiving to honor the Native Americans who taught the first settlers of America to survive, This is also a day to over all just be thankful for what you have. We always have this thankful day at my grandmother’s house. This is one of my favorite days because it is a time to be thankful for what you have.
As soon as I wake up on thanksgiving day we are cooking and around noon we leave to my Grandmas house. Everybody gets there around that time to usually help and just to hang around. We all have fun sitting around watching TV, Talking about random stuff, or sometimes board games. We usually do pretty much nothing until it's like 3:00 pm. We always have an early dinner, Which is why i'm always

    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).

    Thanksgiving dinner is the best time of Fall, well that’s what I think anyway. My dad makes golden, crispy turkey on Thanksgiving which is the best in my opinion. The turkey is as good as Mexican food yet it tastes way better than Mexican. The corn my dad makes is creamy, sweet, and buttery ( if you put the butter on it). What we sometimes like to do is go outside and sometimes have bonfires and when we do, the bonfires crackle and pop like wildfires soaring through the trees.…

    I miss them already. Despite the freezing cold snow and the nipping air, we had a lovely Christmas break. As I inspect my child, now grown with children of her own, holding tickets back to their home, longing envelopes me. Hoards of people push past, unaware of my pain, on their own schedules and heading toward different trains, talking and texting on their cell phones. My family boards, time as if in slow-motion, and waves goodbye until I see them again.…

    Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all of the wonderful people in one’s life. Thanksgiving shouldn’t be ephemeral because it’s a long celebration with loved ones surrounding you. Before every meal, my grandfather prays no malice upon us for the rest of our lives. For that moment in time, it feels as if God is rinsing the evil away because of my grandpa’s prayer. The feast isn’t opulence but that doesn’t matter because we don’t need luxurious things.…

    The anticipation for Thanksgiving break is over the top. The thought of home cooked meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.…

    Thanksgiving Extra-Credit Assignment My family has never been big on the holidays- I almost always spend them at a friend’s home. This year, I went to my friend Alex’s home for Thanksgiving alongside my friend Jay. Alex and Jay are frankly some of the greatest friends I can ask for, and going in to thank them I knew they would take it light-heartedly and make a joke out of it. Before we sat down for dinner, the three of us were sitting in her living room ranting and cracking jokes.…

    The Trip to the Grocery Store I haven’t seen him in weeks or maybe even months, I thought as I glared across the small distance between where I was standing and my dad’s car. With my One Direction CD clutched in my hands, I started to close the distance by walking towards his car. I opened the door and slipped in, and then he started to drive to the grocery store. At the time I was under the illusion that my dad would be even slightly happy to see me, but no.…
