Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday (my first being Christmas) because of the wonderful food. Thanksgiving is a very hectic time for my family. At lunchtime my mom, dad, brother, and I go to my grandparent’s house on my Dad’s side and share a very disgusting dinner (my grandmother is very lazy and also a very bad cook so nothing tastes too good) with my aunt, uncle, 2 cousins, and grandparents. We hang around and watch football few a few hours afterwards and then head to my other grandparents about 10 minutes away and eat dinner with all of my extended family on my Mom’s side. This is my favorite dinner because there are around thirty of us and each family brings a dish so there is always an assortment of delicious food. After dinner the kids usually go outside and mess around. This year we went to my Uncle’s farm and played with their newborn puppies. My favorite memory would have to be from when I was nine or ten and we had decided to play hide and seek outside in the dark after dinner. I love hide and seek because I have to be very secretive and being secretive makes me feel like a spy, and it was dark outside so that made me feel so much more like a spy because it had a kind of scary feeling from the dark.
