A turkey on Thanksgiving is a big part of mine. We go over to my grandma’s house, we have stuffing, tamales, pozole, and then there’s the turkey. It’s the turkey that everyone loves. Without it, it is not Thanksgiving in my family. A lot of people may argue that we could have Thanksgiving without the turkey.
I know for a fact that some men out there are the only ones that cook in their home. At my house, my dad does all the cooking because my mom is always working really late. This past Christmas my mom had to work all day, so my dad, my brother and I cooked a really nice dinner. We slow-cooked a good sized big turkey, made mashed potatoes, stuffing, and all the good things that go with holiday meals. We had the table set up the right way before the food was cooking on the stove and in the oven.
For Thanksgiving last year my meal was a small scoop of potatoes, a spoon full of gravy, one roll, and a couple pieces of white, dry turkey breast. This is hardly what I call a holiday meal. Controlling my diet has taught me to discipline my mind. Wrestling has also kept me physically fit and healthy. The hard conditioning has made my body and immune system very strong.

The restaurant is usually open until 10 p.m. during the week and 11 p.m. on the weekend, so 8:15 p.m. was a fairly decent time to arrive at the restaurant for supper. No one greeted them at the door and after 10 minutes, they walked to the bar to attract the attention of the bartender to ask for a hostess to seat them. The hostess arrived and was clearly unpleasant and un- thoughtful as she tried to seat the family in an upper seating area. The family had a discussion with the hostess because the father is an amputee on crutches and cannot sit in an upper seating area, due to his disability. She then brought the family to another area, sat them with the lunch menus and no children’s menus.
My family either watches a football game or play football in the yard. Families usually play a game on a game system; in my case, it would be an Xbox 360 Kinect. My family on Thanksgiving makes so much food that could last a week or two and still be fresh. When my brothers and I put butter on the turkey and season it all over, it does smell good, but it smells better when the turkey is in the oven. Then we grab all the potatoes and rinse them off with cold running water.
sElcidana Camacho ENG101 February 9, 2012 “The I and The We Inside Of Me” Traditions are part of the culture of a nation and its people’s identification. An important tradition in the United States is the celebration of Thanksgiving. This event occurs on the last Thursday of November, and it is the day when people travel from different parts of the country leaving behind for one day the individual “I” to enjoy an invaluable “we”. The police, the nurse, the teacher and the delinquent will stop their professional occupations to join Grandma in the kitchen to stuff a huge turkey and the rest of the meal. During the celebration, the family will tell (as every year) the same stories about the family; laughers, mockeries, craziness and caring are all part of the celebration passing this legacy to the next generation.
APUSH Jamestown Letter 9/29/12 Dear beloved brother, I have arrived here safely at the Jamestown colony of our great homeland England and I have been here for three months now. The journey over was anything but pleasant, the conditions on the way over where god awful. As we departed for the colony our ships were stalled in the channel between England and France for nearly a month. Had the winds not turned in our favor I believe we would have returned soon as the passengers were becoming rowdy as we could still see home but had none of the benefits of being at home. As the winds shifted we proceeded on down into the warmth of the tropics.

Should Stores Be Open On Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving Day should be a day for friends and families to get together and celebrate a special meal as they give thanks. In most cases, the meals often include stuffing, turkey, potatoes, vegetables, gravy, pumpkin pie and cranberry alongside other meals. This day individuals should come together as families and give thanks for what they already have (Millard n.p.). Most people who live far from their families travel on Thanksgiving Day to be with their loved ones.
