Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Its festive and delicious. I love going out to my farm and spending time with my family. We make the best Thanksgiving meal. We make a huge turkey, mashed potato's and gravy, biscuits, corn, and dressing. Then for dessert we will have five different types of pies! After we are done eating our fest, we go out for a long walk in our timber. Its really relaxing just to get some fresh air. Once we are finished with our walks, we will head back to the house and do the dishes. That is one part of Thanksgiving I could do without. When the dishes have be cleaned everyone tends to just take a really long nap. As for me though, I like to put on my hunting gear on and head back out to my timber to go hunting. Once it gets to dark, I climb down my stand and head back to the farm. Usually everyone is up by then watching TV. They tend to wait for me so we can start to have left overs. The left over turkey is always the best part. I think the reason I love Thanksgiving so much is for a couple of reason. One the food is incredible, two it is a great time to spend with your family, and three it is still a true holiday. It is not commercialized like Christmas or New Years. People can not wait till Thanksgiving is over so they can line up at the local Best Buy at 5am to get their hands on great deals for Black Friday. Christmas used to be a great holiday. People didn't care about the gifts as much as they do now. For our Christmas we don't exchange gifts. Instead we just have a great meal and enjoy the time off we have. In conclusion I hope I have a great holiday season and I hope everyone else has one to.
