I know that we are just now approaching Halloween, but I for one cannot wait to go home for Thanksgiving. It's about a month away but it's defintely something that i am looking foward to. Going home for this holiday is just awesome. It's the first real tme to kind of spend with your family because usually if you go home for a random weekend it is for a specific reason like work, seeing old friends, or for some other reason. But this is the real chance to actually sit down with your family and have a nice dinner.
That is definitely the second best thing about this break, all of the amazingggg food! You always know that when you go home, your mom is going to make you your favorite meal, but now you basically get double that in one giant feast. After you eat dinner at 2 or 3( I still never understood why thanksgiving dinner was eaten at lunch time?) you go into the living sit down and watch some football. Classic American style day. Of course you are usually to hung over from the previous nights' festivities...a.k.a. the biggest going-out night of the year! Besides that there is so much reunion time with family members. I for one have a huge family and there are always so many of us that we need to catch up on what everyone has been up to.
It is always good to see all of my cousins that have moved away that come back to visit. Most of them usuzlly only come back for christmas but some come back for Thanksgiving.
Going back to the food topic, I love spending the time helping my mom make all of her dishes. It's some good bonding time even though it can get pretty chaotic. I also have the tradition of me always making an apple pie, so I have to work on that as well. Also knowing that christams break is just 2 weeks after we come back from break, which is kind of annoying and a tease but its still great. It sucks that the end of the semester comes so soon, especially since the month we have off for xmas tends to get semi-boring after awhile.
Well anyways

I also love Thanksgiving, as it's a fun time to get together with your family. Plus, the mass amounts of home-cooked food is a definite plus. Although I'm not a fan of football, it's tradition to watch it after the meal. But now that you mention it, I don't know why it's eaten at lunch time either.
ReplyDeleteI definatley agree with you! Especially because I haven't seen my family except for October break, and that wasn't even really that great because even though it was a weekend, they all still had stuff to do so we didn't get to spend that much time together. This way everyone will be together, doing the best thing ever... eating! I love the food, just the thought makes my mouth water, actually any cooked meal that doesn't involve subway or Neubig makes my mouth water! It is also so great about how close the next break is! I am going crazy waiting for the next break and then it will only be a two week break! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for Thanksgiving too! I think this month is one of the hardest at school. Its November, we're so close to being done sometimes we (by we I mean I) start slacking on my work. Also this month we have Cortaca, which although it isn't here this year, its still such a big event on campus and so much energy is spent on planning what everyone is going to do for it.
