Thanksgiving

What does Thanksgiving mean to you? Where do you go? What special kinds of food do you eat? Is there a tradition in your family about Thanksgiving? Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving?

 

Thanksgiving to me means giving thanks for all the things that I have. Health, family, and friends. Also, I give thanks for the blessings I have in my life such as getting accepted into a college, having good grades, having a home and clothes on my back. I usually go to my grandmas with my family. My moms mother is usually Thanksgiving day, and my dads mother is usually the following day on Friday. The special kinds of food that I eat is ham, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. The tradition in my family is someone always writes out a prayer to pray at the dinner table. One person decides to have the prayer every year. We have the prayer to thank God for the things we are thankful for. We celebrate Thanksgiving because Christopher Columbus and the pilgrims found America.
