Thanksgiving traditions

Every year when i was little we used to go to Mahopac to eat dinner with my Aunt. She would gather up her two older kids and we would all eat a delicious dinner on a table clothe that everyone signed every year. It was always a great way to spend Thanksgiving until the year my aunt decided to go on a cruise. We were all uncertain of what to do. I don't really like to break traditions so it was a very new thing to have to do something else. we went up to Lake George the first year and for a couple of years after that. Last year we went to a house in Killington VT and we spent Thanksgiving there. It was great, My aunt came up afterwards and spent the day after thanksgiving with us. This year my parents wanted to go to the JETS game but i like to cook so i convinced them to go up to VT.

I have a Great Aunt named Julia and when my dad was little she used to make potato balls for thanksgiving. My mom got the recipe so now every year we scoop mashed potatoes into balls and bread and fry them(Sometimes we add a little cheese!). they are the best and least healthy food ever. My mom always tries out a new kind of turkey that we don't really dig into until the day after with the leftover stuffing and two good slices of bread. Yuuuum.

I love thanksgiving because you get to sit around and appreciate the fact that you can eat all the wonderful food. it is my favorite holiday. It wouldn't be the same without all the food and family. I have everything that i could want. What cant i be thankful for?
