First let me start by saying Happy Thanksgiving. Traditionally in my family we celebrate Thanksgiving by going to my brothers house in Ann Arbor with the whole family. We used to eat the traditional big feast, but now we have switched over to a cold lunch style buffet. We have turkey and ham for sandwiches, as well as all the fixins. We do it this way to avoid having to spend so much time cooking and cleaning. Another plus to this is that when people come at different times, they can eat whenever they want to. The men in the house usually are perched in front of the television watching some sports, while the women all have some drinks and play games. The kids are usually in the basement on some game system. I won't lie, I am usually in the basement with my drink playing video games too : )
It is a blessing that you have friends and family that are there for you during tough times. There are so many people in this world who are homeless and do not have families and friends to even say hello to. No one to tell them that they are loved so each day when you see them, hug them and always tell them thank you for who you are.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Thanksgiving this year. It sounds like you have a fun day planned. That is cute how you say you go play video games with the kids in the basement. Also, I think the kids need young adults to bridge the gap between them and the parents. Everyone should mingle between the age groups, it makes the whole family stay connected.
