Big Turkey

Thanksgiving is a time where families all over America get together to eat turkey and talk to beloved relatives without a hint of altercation. While most people would say that this paradigm of a Thanksgiving dinner is not at all true, I am surprised to say that this is exactly the type Thanksgiving feast I have been attending for sixteen years. Our Thanksgiving involves passing the food all around the table, happy thoughtful conversation, and everybody doing dishes together after supper. The table included 13 relatives this year, and like every year nothing eventful or different happened. Nothing spilled, we didn't eat anything out of the ordinary for the dinner, and nobody got in any verbal arguments. I would say that I enjoy this holiday, but for the sole reason that the food is better than on a normal night. Although family is nice and all, I'm not at that age where I appreciate them enough, and the food in my eyes is the reason for the holiday.
