Now, with every Thanksgiving, there is always a story to tell; some more interesting than others, but all a part of whom we are. This year, my…

Thanksgiving At My House Every year in November kids everywhere rejoice at the mere thought of Thanksgiving break.

Thanksgiving at my house is always crammed with mouthwatering food, and great fellowship between family members. Every year we gather to enjoy each other’s company, and devour some scrumptious food. One year we might congregate at grannies house, and another year we may meet up at uncle TJ’s.

Carving the turkey on thanksgiving has long been a tradition in my family.…

intriguing search, I started to realize that there were so many subjects to choose from. With Thanksgiving having been just last week and all of the discussions regarding Black Friday and whether or not Christmas shopping should officially begin on the evening of Thanksgiving or the early morning hours of Friday, I thought it would be appropriate to find an editorial cartoon on this very subject.

Afterward, table games were often played or a holiday special was watched and some folks would snuggled up for a nap. People would reunite in the kitchen to share leftovers and then go their separate ways basking in the glow of…
