Research Paper On Thanksgiving Break

Decent Essays
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. We don’t get to see each other as much as we used to so that means something to me. We normally spend most of the week getting ready for Thursday which is Thanksgiving

    It was Thanksgiving morning and heading to downtown Detroit. It wasn’t my typical Thursday morning with the sun glaring through the glass beating down on my face.

Regardless of the exact date or location of its origins, one thing is clear – Memorial Day was borne out of the Civil War and a desire to honor our dead.…
