Thanksgiving dinner essay

Thanksgiving is always held on the fourth Thursday of November every year. It’s a very special holiday when everybody comes together as a family to cook, enjoy, and bless the food, but also to enjoy each other. In 2015, I had a special Thanksgiving Day dinner that left me full of joy.

In the years following that failure, I have learned that preparing a Thanksgiving dinner is easy...if you plan ahead.

Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to explore what it means to celebrate, the holiday is an American holiday only and is celebrated in a multitude of different ways with an endless amount of traditional flare that changes from family to family. I have many biases as to what the Thanksgiving holiday looks like.

At the first Thanksgiving feast, people ate lobster, seal, swan, and deer meat. In modern times, we serve turkey dinners, have family gatherings, and watch football games. Many also donate food to neighbors who don’t have enough two eat. Thanksgiving is an American which is widely celebrated.
