Thanksgiving for me probably seems pretty stereotypical as nothing out of the ordinary or crazy really happens. I celebrate Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family where we gather at my grandmother's house. My family always has Thanksgiving lunch so as to give us more time to bond, if you will. My grandma usually cooks most of the food but was unable to this year so my mom and aunt helped out. Normally, my mom and aunts are in charge of making the desserts. We eat around my grandma's huge dining room table but I usually get exiled to the kid's table with my older sister and younger cousins. After we eat we gather in the living room or sit in the empty dining room to talk about things. I don't have any specific memories of past Thanksgivings that really stand out to me since every year it's pretty much the same, redundant routine.
Overall, I do enjoy Thanksgiving. It's a rather chill holiday which is great because it doesn't cause me too much stress; although after it's over I have to deal with the fact that Black Friday is just around the corner which means Christmas is around the corner which means stress all over the place!
