thanksgivinggg

My thanksgiving was better than i had expected. This year it was held in my country house in Pennsylvania which was a good change from being in the city. My family and i had left wednesday night to try to avoid early morning traffic and get a head start on the cooking in the morning. Waking up at 8 am on a non school day wasnt really the funnest thing, but it was for a good cause. My sister and i helped my mother in cook since we were waiting 25 people. We had not one but two turkeys in the oven so that it would be enough for everyone. Having the family stay at the house with us for 3 days was probably the most meaningful thing of thanksgiving. Everything felt in place. The topic of genocide didnt really come up at all, we just happend to think of happy things and talking about old memories. I think the most significant part of thanksgiving is being together with your loved ones. In many people's lives family is very important so i think not even the food but the whole concept of thanksgiving is signifcant to people that makes them want to come together and celebrate the meaningful things in theyre lives.
