Yummy!

Today's discussion brought about the topic of Thanksgiving. Although many would argue against this holiday because of the stomach pains on the day after, I find Thanksgiving as a highlight of my year. First of all, I enjoy the five day weekend we have in celebration of this event. By the second quarter, I need this break to maintain my sanity. Thanksgiving, for me, contists of lots of food and spending time with the family. The day before this holiday, I cook and prepare for the next day's feast. However, the real festivities do not begin until I have a plateful of food on that thursday evening. It may sound pathetic, but I look forward to this meal all year. Food serves as a comfort in my busy life. Food can only bring light to my day because of it's amazing taste and tendency to never let me down. If I could depend on all aspects of life this strongly, challenges would rarely arise. However, I celebrate stress free on Thanksgiving because it connects the things that I love in my life. Thanksgiving encourages me to appreciate the importance of family and the ability to share an amazing meal together on this holiday.

  1. I feel the same way about Thansgiving. I most definitely look forward to it every year. I love just relaxing around the house and watching football. I know that your sister is in college as well as mine and i love how Thaksgiving brings the whole family together.
