There's more meaning to Thanksgiving than the usual

Ever since I have been in school, I just could not wait for Thanksgiving break. This break was anticipated every year. School would burn me out and having a week long break was the prescription to my relaxation. Relaxing was not the only think that I was looking forward to during the break. I also looked forward to the FOOD! I LOVE FOOD AND IN PARTICULAR, THANKSGIVING FOOD.

My Favorite dish is my momma's dressing, string beans, collard greens, turkey, Brown Sugar Ham from Honey Baked Ham store, gravy, macaroni, potato salad, yams, cranberry sauce, and tea to drink. For dessert my favorite pie in the world, is sweet potato pie. I loved this pie when I first came out my momma, just playing. This pie is the best when you put vanilla icecream on top, it adds a more fancy look to it, in my opinion. My momma also makes pecan pie, which is my sisters, and dad's favorite but I don't eat that, since I'm allergic to any kind of nuts, but I'm not missing anything anyway. Everything that is prepared for this holiday, i help out in a major way. I stay up cooking with my mom, since she clearly can't do it all herself, she's getting old now, being in your 50's is no joke. We don't have family to come over since, most of our family lives in Mississippi and that is a long drive, but sometimes we go there for Christmas.

Overall, i believe that my mommie is the best cook that has ever lived! I am sure that if anybody tried my momma's cooking they would feel the same way that I feel to say that this is the best food they have ever tasted! Trust me, I am not being bias, its a known fact. To me, Thanksgiving is a prelude to Christmas, in the sense that Thanksgiving prepares people for Christmas as in shopping, food, decorations. Just knowing that Thanksgiving is right around the corner, just gets me ready for my birthday, which is next month. I'll be 22 years old and trust me, I have been waiting for this age to come since I was little. Until then, I going to enjoy the last couple of weeks left that I am 21, so that I can make a smooth transition into my 22nd birthday!!!!
