My family and friends come to my house for Thanksgiving, it has been a tradition since 1990.
The week of Thanksgiving is work for my Mom, dad, sister,and me because we have to clean the house from top to bottom. The Christmas decorations are all ready up and the Christmas tree is lit on Thanksgiving night.
My dad and I go to several stores to perchase all the ingredients for our Thanksgiving feast.
When we finally get all the ingredients for the feast, my mother starts cooking, and she doesn't stop until the day of Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving day, we have a proximally 38 family members over for dinner and the number continue to grow because my friends from high school come over to enjoy my mother's cooking as well(she's a very good cook).
Before we eat, my dad bless the food that my mother has prepared for the family. After the prayer is done, we form a line, so we can fix our food. While we are eating, we have lovely conversations and some time singing.
After we finish eating, the adults retire to the family room and the young adults come to my room, because I have Dreamcast(video game) or to the computer room.
During this time I love being around my family because in the end, that is all you have.
