A common experience

Our family generally has a pretty normal thanksgiving. We all head up to Ohio to spend the day at Grandma's we eat turkey even though I'm not a huge fan and that's accompanied with a pretty usual thanksgiving spread. We even have that annoyingly rude uncle who no one really likes. After we eat at Grandma's and watch a little football and catch a few minutes of the parade we head off to my great aunt and uncle's to meet with family and enjoy some much desired dessert my favorite of which being Oreo pie, but I always save room for the classic pumpkin. This time for sweets is also filled with passing time with cousins who hardly remember my name and listening to stories of the days of old when the turkey was eaten up hill both ways through the snow. I may sound like a cynic, but I really do enjoy Thanksgiving from the bountiful feast to the boundless relatives.
