Thanksgiving

               On Thanksgiving, many American families join together to give thanks for all that they have. In my family, my mother does most of the cooking and preparations. Others have tried to host the event, however her cooking is the best. At our Thanksgiving, we have an array of food to choose from. Each person will be bringing a dish to share with the other guests. Typically, football is going to be on the tv. This year we are going to go to her new home, which is spacious enough to fit everyone.
