Thanksgiving With the Family.
Dining With the Family: Thanksgiving Dinner

Every Thanksgiving the entire family has a mustering at Grandma's house. We all rally up at Grandma's house to eat diner. She cook's everything. Like: turkey, ham, dressing, green beans, greens, potato salad, sweet potato pies, etc. It sure is heavenly. I could go for some right now.

To me Thanksgiving is better than Christmas. The reason for that is Thanksgiving has the best supper. Just cause Grandma made it. Every once in a while, grandma might not feel well enough to make our Thanksgiving dinner. Therefore everyone pitches in. My mother might make the macaroni & cheese. Auntie will make the splendid dressing. Robin will bake the ham, glazed with pineapples. Everyone has their favorite dish. As for everything else Grandma will make it. No one can duplicate anything that Grandma cooks.

After preparation of our Thanksgiving supper, we all begin to fill with joy as we eat our delectable dinner. After we devour dinner, we all sit around and talk for hours and hours. As our food digests in our stomach making room for dessert. While eating our dessert, we babble about our family reunions and our family vacations. Everyone speaks about the old times, when we were young.

Grandma brings all of this good spirit together all the time regardless of the occasion. She is my family's nucleus (Grandma). If it was not for Grandma's charming ability to keep us together, we would not be who we are today. I'm absolutely correct. The good times that our family has together are wonderful. Not everyone gets to sit around and have dinner with their family on the holidays. So, those who do should be very content for it.

Time well spent with the people you love is awesome. Cherish all the good and bad things about your family. Some people do not have anyone to go home to. All that I am trying to say is, "be grateful". Appreciate having a family dinner, or family vacation, shopping, or just quality

    Every Thanksgiving, my family gets up early to drive down to New York, where we meet with aunts, uncles, cousins, and my Grandmother. Over the course of the day, delicious smells materialize as heaping mashed potatoes, green beans sautéed with onions and turkey bacon, and sweet potato casserole topped with bubbling marshmallow join the turkey on the serving table as I breathlessly await the early dinner.…

    This is not your typical Thanksgiving guide. We are not the Food Network so we will not talk about how to cook a Thanksgiving feast. This is more about the behind the scenes footage of Thanksgiving. Instead of what to cook, I want to tap into those holiday nuances like your Mother and Aunt, arguing over who’s making the dressing this year, or the Uncle that has to bring a different woman to dinner every year because he is still trying to get under Aunt Margaret’s skin. You'll get rules on hosting a party, should you bring something if invited, how involved do you want your husband to be, and so on. Here is the rundown of the Do’s and Don’ts of Thanksgiving.…

    Thanksgiving is a day where my entire family can get together and enjoy excellentfood as well as each other’s company. My father who lives in the beautiful Birmingham, Alabama drives down every year the day before Thanksgiving and stays with us throughout the weekend. He always brings the finest fresh sweet tea and homemade peach cobbler you can find in Alabama which are essential to our Thanksgiving meal. However, my maternal grandparents drive down from Memphis, Tennessee and bring along with them a small present for each of the kids; which include my two brothers, Johnathan and Harrison, and my sister Alise. Even though this is a day for my family to spend time together, we have always welcomed anyone without a place to go or family to be with to spend it with us as well. Some of the past years we have had neighbors join us and also friends of the children.…

    Every year we have the dinner at my grand parent’s quant house in the country. It takes a few hours to get there, but the country ride is more mesmerizing than any movie that I have ever seen. The twists and turns on a single lane road surrounded by tree’s help set the tone for what the day will bring. Every year I am always the first one there to help my grandparents to set up. The first thing I always remember to do is hug each one of them for as long as I can, thankful for another year to take in their open arms.…

    I, myself being the oldest child out of four girls from my parents, and once again with all that being said, there is no greater family celebration to me than a family celebrating. I guess that’s why everyone looks to me and/ or comes to me for everything we do in all the celebrations being planned for some reason or another; I also thought it was because I was the only one with no children at the time, but I would actually learn, it turns out I can be the life of a party. Therefore this has always made me feel special to my family.…

    My mother has raised me believing it is important to put our hearts, minds, and souls into the holiday of love, cheer, laughter, kindness, and togetherness. So therefore, we make it a habit of doing every little thing to our full advantage. For instance, when we bake cookies, we have to use the cookie-cutter to make them perfect and frost them thoroughly. The presents must be wrapped decently enough and even look presentable, although they are going to be shredded to pieces. Decorations have to throughout our house to spread Christmas joy and, of course, provide an environment that reminds us what…
