Why I Love Thanksgiving At The Five Day
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It is a holiday that you celebrate with your friends and family. I love Thanksgiving for many reasons. One of the reasons I like it is because of the five day weekend. The five day weekend really helps because students need to rest and most students do not sleep enough which makes them unhealthy. I like how most teachers do not give homework over the break so students can rest and spend time with their family. I think people still like Thanksgiving even if they don’t celebrate it because some students really need the break. Some students are overwhelmed with stress from classes and the five days can help. I did not do anything exciting for my five day weekend, I just slept in, and watched a lot of television. The five …show more content…
I am always excited for the big dinner with the ham, turkey, and mashed potatoes. This year my mom bought ham, turkey, and mashed potatoes from HoneyBaked Ham. HoneyBaked Ham sells ham and turkey that is marinated in honey which gives it a sweet taste. The line for the place took one hour to get through, but it was definitely worth it. Their mashed potatoes had a really good taste to it and I was confused what they put in it. On Thursday, my brother and I went to Stater Bros. to buy things for the dinner. We went to buy corn, butter, gravy, cookie dough, biscuits, apple cider, soda, and ice cream. Then we went home to cook the food. We first made the buttered corn which tasted really good and then we made the biscuits which took a while to bake. Then we had to make the gravy for the mashed potatoes and biscuits. Even though Thanksgiving is a time when you interact with your family, we still watched Netflix while eating. After we finished eating I played video games with my brother. After about an hour and thirty minutes after dinner, my brother’s girlfriend and I decided to try and make Pizookis. The Pizookis were a really good way to end the

    Planaria are free-swimming mostly freshwater flatworms. Flatworms are very unique creatures because they regenerate lost parts. My groups experiment was, The Effect of Darker Regions on Planaria Movement. The purpose of this experiment was to see whether or not the planaria preferred the white region or the dark region. My hypothesis was, If the Planaria are placed on the white side then they will move to the dark side because the planaria have a strong negative geo-tropism and would move away from white side and go to the dark side. The independent variable was the two sides of the petri dish, which had one white region and one dark region. The dependent variable consisted of how many…

    I will never forget the Christmas when I was 14 years old. The whole day was so wonderful and exciting. We had to wake up and unwrap presents early because my father was working that day so everyone woke up at 5:00 AM. After all the presents were given out, everyone said was saying goodbye to my father and went back to sleep. At 9:00 AM, we had to wake up to clean the house because we have “Christmas Brunch” every other year where my whole family comes to have a meal. My mom has a total of 5 brothers and sisters. And they all came with their families, which included their kids and some of their kids even have children. So, at my house, there was a rough total of about fifty family members for the brunch. The food that we ate on this day was unbelievably and utterly amazing. Most of the types of food that we devoured were Polish and German cultural foods, which are the two major nationalities in my family. There was fried Polish sausage with sautéed onions. They were a perfect combination of saltiness to sweetness. Then there were some sweet and creamy pecan rolls that my grandmother used to make all the time, but unfortunately I could not have one since I am allergic to nuts. Then to top all of those foods, there were all different sorts of pierogi. There were the family favorite potato pierogi, the sweet cheese pierogi, and then there were the blueberry pierogi which are my favorite. Those foods were the three items that we mostly ate at the brunch. All the adults would be either drinking coffee, soda, or some alcoholic beverages and for me my favorite thing to drink: Polish carbonated water.…

    I remember being a little girl, sitting at the kitchen counter, watching my mother. She would be making preparations to cook us our wonderful meal. Eager to learn, I would ask, “Mom, what can I help with?” Then I’d jump down, off my chair and listen to her instructions with excitement. She put forth a lot of hours preparing and finishing everything before family and friends arrived. The kitchen would be filled with joking, laughter and storytelling. We would listen and sing to music as we helped and waited for our Thanksgiving celebration to start.…

    I knew it was the reason why my teacher spent the days leading up to it having us make hand turkeys and watch the Charlie Brown special in class, but my family never celebrated it. I never realized how strange that was until I shared it with a friend the week before. “What do you mean you don't celebrate Thanksgiving?!” he exclaimed. I recall the awkward predicament this put me in,…

    Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks. It is also the time to sit down and enjoy a meal with your family. Even though enjoying a meal with your family is very important, Thanksgiving is also important to ask you and your family what are you thankful for. Being thankful can be a long or short accomplishment; a goal that can be achieved. This year, I’m thankful that I’m currently enrolled at Thomas Nelson Community College, graduated from high school, and my family is supporting me through college.…

    After the ride we couldn’t decide what other ride we should go on. I decided that we should stop and eat really quickly because we haven’t eaten anything in a awhile. So I was looking and any random place and I saw turkey leg. Then I let everyone know, and they all agree that we should stop and eat some turkeys. When we went to the line we all looked at the menu and the turkeys were really expensive but since we are so hungry we just figured we should just buy it and because one leg was so big. We all had one and enjoyed it a lot. Now that we all got something to eat we were ready to ride on some more rides.…

    I walked into the kitchen and spotted a turkey and prime rib, chicken, smoked ham, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, candy yams, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and greens. The delightful scents of turkey and prime rib, cheese, buttered corn, sweet yams, and gravy filled the air. I hear a timer go off, an oven opening, a microwave beeping, barbeques grilling, and family talking. I taste all sorts of things such as turkey and prime rib, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob, candy yams, mashed potatoes, and greens. I touch my fork and spoon, the glass full of water, my napkin, my plate, and my food. I sight, smell, hear, taste, and touch many things during my Thanksgiving dinner.…

Contrary to popular wisdom, the sole purpose of the holiday is not giving thanks and togetherness. It is about football, and pie.…

    My Thanksgiving break was pretty good. On Thanksgiving, I went to Indiana to my cousins' house. It was a two-hour drive, so it wasn't that long. All of my cousins are older than me- literally, all of my cousins even from I don't know where. The only people younger than me are my siblings so I'm not the youngest of ALL the people. Anyways, we had eaten all of the thanksgiving things you can possibly eat. I loved thanksgiving this year and I can't wait next year.…
