Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  In the next to paragraphs I will tell you more about why it is my favorite. The two main things I am going to talk about is the food, and all of my family members get to come over.

The food that we have at our thanksgiving is really good. My Mom and my grandmother make all of the food.  Me and my dad help out by cleaning the table, setting the table and all of that other fun stuff. My mom makes food like turkey, stuffing, green beans, carrots, corn, gravy, yams, and ham.  But one thing my mom does not make is the mashed potatoes.  My dad makes the best mashed potatoes.  My dad also makes a seperate turkey on the smoker. It taste so goooood. After the food cooks for about two hours (which feels like 7 hours) we all sit down at our table in the dining room because that one can sit 8 people when the kitchen table can sit 5. When we are all at the table we always pass all of the food clockwise so we are not reaching over each other to get the food.  After all of that happens we all just enjoy the food, talk, make jokes, all of that fun stuff we do with family.

When all of our family members come over at about 2:30. We usually play a bunch of games outside like football and soccer.  Then we go inside to watch football. My uncle typically ends up screaming at the TV for about like 3 hours long. After we eat we all gather in the game room to play a video game tournament. The one game that we always play is super smash bros.  My brother and I usually win. Then we play board games and  relax. I normally have to go to bed before my aunt and uncle leave.  🙁

That is what all goes down on thanksgiving at my house.
