it's the (second) most wonderful timeeee of the yeeeeear

Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday, aside from Christmas, because of the atmosphere. It would most likely be considered a logical assumption to say the same for the rest of my family, considering the fact we had three different Thanksgivings this year! Of course, we had the traditional Thursday-night feast of roasted turkey, acorn squash soup, sweet potatoes, cranberry salad, warm and fluffy cornbread, pumpkin pie, etc. with our closest friends and family, but on Friday night my family went to another family’s house for round two, then on Saturday we hosted company again. All the delicious food was thoroughly enjoyed, and it put us all in the best of moods! Even though my family isn’t American, we still avidly celebrated the holiday by taking a large load of donations to goodwill, cooking for two whole days, spending time with our close friends and loved ones, and (of course) shopping on Black Friday. I am glad that there is a holiday dedicated to thankfulness, because although we should not need ridiculous amounts of food to remind us of how blessed we truly are, it does help us to do so together.
