  1. What do you do for Thanksgiving every year? Well my family usually goes to our friends house and eat there. After we are done eating we play volleyball. This special for me because I get to spend time with my family. Also, I am thankful for my family and friends. What are you thankful for? One thing I hope will be better in the future is that I hope we won't be at war.

  2. My famies traditions, are that we spend time together and do a prayer before we eat. We have a great time, because we all get along and play alot. It's special for me because I get to see family and have a super time with them. What I am thankful for is that I'm going to see my mom's side of the family. What I hope to have in the future is to see my family again, and sit at a table surrounded by my family.

  7. For Thanksgiving we usually go places. So this year we are going to go to our cabin in Prescott and my family and maybe some friends are going to be there. We don't really have a tradition but all we do is laugh and have fun.
    Also tell stories because some of our family members come in from New York or San Francisco or sometimes even Australia. I hope that the war stops so we can all be peaceful and all of us won't half to be worried for our troops out there. Another thing is that I hope i get to see my baby cousin that is on the way even though he or she is on the other side of the world and also I hope I will get to see my dad soon but that won't happen.

  9. One of my Thanksgiving traditions is that when my family starts to eat we all say what we're thankful for. Another thing we do is we watch the football game and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. On the morning of Thanksgiving my family always has homemade cinnamon rolls. One thing I'm thankful for is that God provides everything for my family. Also, one thing I want to see in the future is the WHOLE world coming together, in peace and friendship, for at least one Thanksgiving meal.
