Thanksgiving:
On Thanksgiving my family goes to one of my grandparents house, it rotates every year. My family, my grandparents, my aunt, and sometimes our friends spend Thanksgiving with us. We usally turkey (I am a vegatarian so I don't eat much of this), quiche, potatoes, pie along with other dishes. Last year my family ran in a 5K in New Plaltz, which we are going to do again this year.

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?
Thanksgiving
What I am doing this Thanksgiving List:
1. My family is going to our family friends Marianna and Mimi's house in Connecticut. Their daughter is named Helena. She is 6 and is my sister Frida's friend. We will be eating a turkey (yay!) and some kind of vegetable stir-fry that Marianna will make. Most of my family are vegetarians, only my dad and I are not. This may be my first time eating a Thanksgiving turkey. I want to help make the turkey. I will make a pumpkin pie/and or a apple pie and sweet cornbread. Every year we have a big feast for dinner and then we talk and spend time together. I make all the children that are around make a list of what they are thankful for. I am the thankful police and by Thanksgiving we are already in the Christmas spirit and so they write thankful letters happily and then play. This is our first time going to Mimi and Marianna's for Thanksgiving. Usually we do it with our other friends Elizabeth (my mothers friend) and Marco (my friend.) We watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade from their big windows in the living room while eating breakfast (scones,muffins). We have not for a few years though. Other times we go to my Aunt Sandra's (and Greta's) house in Putnam County. Sometime my grandmother is there, and her twin sister, Aunt Louise. Usually Aunt Pamela, and her daughters Celeste and Celina are there. The kitchen is occupied all day. There is a big meal with the good china and memories and thankfulness and family. On the TV we watch the parade in our pajamas and I see my couisins! I have to go.....I must stop writing!
