A Feast of Gratitude and Togetherness

Thanksgiving is such a special time with lots of traditions. One common tradition is gathering with our loved ones around the table to enjoy a big dinner and give thanks for everything we have.

The day often starts with waking up and smelling the turkey. As we sit on the couch watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where giant balloons, floats, and performances fill the street, we wish it was time to eat. The aroma is amazing with everything cooking.

My family often shares what they are thankful for and indulges in delicious dishes like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. It’s a great opportunity to spend quality time together and express gratitude for all of our blessings. Overall, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the things we are thankful for and to spend quality time with loved ones.
