Thanksgiving... I remember having the best time, laughing, talking, and just some down right good times on this holiday. Our family always started with saying some thing that we are thankful for before we could say grace and then eat. I think this one a great way to start and we still do this to this day. I think it gives us a different outlook then just to sit down and eat the food. The other thing we always have is my dad stuffing! Thanksgiving just does not seem the same with out it. As we get older and families mold together we add things, but the thing that never changes is saying what it is we are thankful for. We eat, play games, talk, tell jokes, and maybe ever shed a few tears talking about different stories. It is still a great time had by all. This may seem like it is "mainstream America" to some but to me this is the only way Thanksgiving can be had. I know some people, my boyfriend included don't see their family much or do many things together this seems different to me, but what my family does may seem different to them. In the end every one is different and some thing that seems normal to me may be off the wall to them. That is why it is always fun to talk about what people do nightly, monthly, or even yearly. I think it is nice to see what every one does at different times.
