Thanksgiving reminds us to be
grateful, but for a lot of people, the
holiday also means a weekend of eating a lot
and
watching football. And, my family is no
exception.
My family likes
to
have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner each
year.
We invite people from our extended family
. We also invite close friends, especially
those
who don't have family in town.
When it
comes to Thanksgiving dinner, our
motto
is: The more the merrier.
Our dinner, of
course, starts with a big turkey,
baked in the oven. I always
carve
it before it's served. Then, we have the
fixings. We always have mashed
potatoes, stuffing, yams, cranberries,
and
corn on the cob. Some years, we
go
wild and have other vegetables and
sides. And, for dessert,
we
have pumpkin pie. My wife is not a
big fan of pumpkin pie so for her,
we
also have ice cream.
After we
have a
really big meal, we usually watch
football
on TV. Things usually get pretty
rowdy
since there are always fans on both sides
rooting for their own team to win.
Last
year, my uncle almost got into a
fistfight
with my nephew. Luckily, no one‚ and no
furniture
harmed. That was a relief!
