Paragraph About Thanksgiving
We all celebrate many holidays throughout the year, like New year’s, July 4th, Halloween, Christmas, and many more. If I had to choose my favorite, Thanksgiving would definitely be my number one pick. I am grateful that my job allows me to take time off to enjoy the things I love most about this day. I can chow down on some of my favorite foods that I do not always get at other times of the year. I can get together with all my friends and family, and have a good time conversing, laughing, and enjoying our company. It all comes together with the ideal weather that lets us be comfortable and relaxed. Every holiday is what we make it and for me, the great food, family and friend’s gatherings, and the fall atmosphere makes a perfect Thanksgiving holiday. …show more content…
Everyone has their own way to celebrate Thanksgiving. I will walk through my perfect Thanksgiving plate. I would start with a nice and juicy slice of deep fried turkey. Follow that up with some sides, the most important being jellied cranberry sauce. My plate would not be complete without a few carbs, like rolls, or maybe some corn bread. I would call that a good first plate. After the many plates of the main course, it would be a sin to forget the dessert. I would be lying if I did not say that pumpkin pie is my favorite part of my thanksgiving feast. Secondly, I enjoy this holiday by spending time around family and friends, while appreciating the people and things that make our lives so full. For most people, we spend most of our day around our co-workers and business acquaintances, so why not celebrate friendships, with a gathering? Being in the Air Force, there is always a Thanksgiving pot luck or meal that brings everyone together to talk, laugh, and show that we are truly one big family. I live far from my parents and relatives, so I like to take the time to reach out to let them know how grateful I am to have them in my

    The entire idea of Thanksgiving is essentially molded around the idea of crops. Thanksgiving is thought to be, historically, a time where the Pilgrims and Indians came together to give thanks for the great harvest.

    Thanksgiving is the one holiday in which the meal takes six weeks to plan, three days to cook and five minutes and 30 seconds to eat so everyone can watch 10-hours of football. Contrary to popular wisdom, the sole purpose of the holiday is not giving thanks and togetherness. It is about football, and pie.…

    Every Thanksgiving, my family gets up early to drive down to New York, where we meet with aunts, uncles, cousins, and my Grandmother. Over the course of the day, delicious smells materialize as heaping mashed potatoes, green beans sautéed with onions and turkey bacon, and sweet potato casserole topped with bubbling marshmallow join the turkey on the serving table as I breathlessly await the early dinner.…

    I love the Thanksgiving holiday. In my family, it considered a time for friends and relatives to come together for food, laughter, and conversation. My favorite tradition is when the women of the family, young and old, come together in the kitchen to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. There is such a feeling of warmth and love, that, I think sets the tone for the whole day. The men are usually gathered around the largest television or running errands back and forth to the grocery store. Children are running back and forth playing, filling the house with laughter. Soon dinner is done and all activity ceases as the eldest member of the family begins to pray for the family, and give thanks, as we all stand in agreement. As the prayer closes, voices lift in loud amen and comments about the abundance of food begin.…

    However, it is the fresh cooked turkey that seals the deal for an amazing dinner. Cooking the green beans, the corn was a walk in the park for my parents, so that was nothing to worry about. However, what we did not think about were the pies. It is easy to go to the store and buy pre made pies, but nothing compared to fresh homemade pies. After contemplating, my mom made the decision to make an apple and pumpkin pie. For someone who had never baked cookies from scratch, this was definitely out of my mom’s comfort zone. What we were left to still think about was the turkey, and the big question if we would be able to pull of this huge…
