Another year another thanksgiving. Although this thanksgiving was a lot different from last years one. There were a lot of empty chairs, my family members aren't dead, it is just that they are all getting older, so it is harder for them to get up and travel to different places like they used to. The food was the same, the same amount, but every year only one thing changes, and that is the amount of people that show up there. Before we start eating, all of us gather around the table, join hands, and thank the lord for this feast that is in front of us. We also think of those who don't have all the materials needed to make a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Then we go and eat, I eat, and get more, I don't really watch football, if everyone is crowded around the game and watching, then I will watch, but most of the time, i just go in the room, and play video games. I usually do this every thanksgiving. I am not active on thanksgiving, my body is put on park for the whole day-the anti-body.
Once thanksgiving is over, everyone hangs around and starts talking because this is the actual only moment that our whole family could spend time together and see each other. I mostly play video games after talking for a couple of hours with my cousins. They all arrive around 6:30pm and leave about 11:30pm, by the time they leave, it is about time for everyone, and e to go to bed, but me and cousin stay up thinking about the next day and thinking about another past thanksgiving. I see Thanksgiving as not another holiday, but a time for family to be together. The food and football are not really what is important, it is about family gathering together.
