A tradition our family does for Thanksgiving is we always have it at our house. I can't remember one Thanksgiving where my family celebrated it someplace else. All our family members come over. From my mom and dad's side of the family. Every year we have around 30 people come over. It is definitely really crazy. What makes Thanksgiving special to me is I get to see some people I do not get to see often. I have not seen my cousins for almost a year. I am soooooo excited to see them. We also have sleepovers!

ReplyDeleteMy family usually goes to my Grandma's house. We always eat turkey and food I don't like. We also eat corn. Sometimes my family members from Nebraska come over. My cousins almost never come. This holiday is good to have family members come.

One tradition I do is spend time with my family. I sometimes go to other peoples houses for Thanks Giving breakfast. Sometimes people come to my house to celebrate Thanks Giving. Sometimes people don't come to my house to celebrate Thanks Giving. One thing that makes this holiday special to me is spending time with my family. Another thing that makes this a special holiday is what im thankful for.

For Thanksgiving my family does not have anything special to do. We are a pretty boring family. We are going to my Grammy and Pop-pop's house, with all my cousins. My cousins are 15-year old triplets and their 16-year old brother. So I am one of the youngest. We normally have a really good dinner then hangout or text my cousins friends. One year for Thanksgiving me, my mom, my dad and my sister went on a cruise. I loveThanksgiving because we get to eat a lot.

My family has friends come over for Thanksgiving dinner. In the past, we had our neighbors came over and had dinner but this year will be different as our neighbors passed away. Our friends that are coming bring smoked turkey. The best part of Thanksgiving is when we all sit down and eat with everyone.I also like the conversations around the table. This is going to be my dog Libby's first Thanksgiving with us and I hope I can sneak her some turkey.Jt Scannell #17
ReplyDeleteMy family is going to see some of my friend for about 30 minutes. After that we will be going to see my relatives down the street from us. The relatives I'm seeing is my two brothers my niece my nephew my mom my dad my sister in-law and my hamster. My favorite part of Thanksgiving is we make a gingerbread house and set up the Christmas tree also eat anything you want. Then when our food is all settled we go play something outside. That is what we do for Thanksgiving.

My family for thanksgiving does something different every year. Some times we go to my grandmas ranch in California. Some times we stay home its all ways different. Some times people come to are house just what ever comes up. One of the things that makes this holiday great is all the turkey you get to eat. ryan 10#
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Thanksgiving. So we have nothing special on thanksgiving we eat as normal. Nobody comes to our house on thanksgiving. We go shopping to buy something. We have nothing special on thanksgiving. We are not into thanksgiving. On thanksgiving lunch is not turkey. I hope we celebrated thanksgiving.

One of the things I do for Thanksgiving is I either have Thanksgiving at home and then the next day a party or I go to my relatives house and have Thanksgiving their. We don't usually go anywhere for Thanksgiving but we do still have lots of fun at our house. Lots and lots of people come over to the house we have Thanksgiving at and we usually have mostly relatives but we also sometimes have friends come over. This holiday is special to me because I get to see my family that I don't usually get to see. Mason #15 =D
ReplyDeleteMy traditions for Thanksgiving are eating turkey. We also put up our christmas tree. My mom and I start making the gingerbread house. We go to see my grandma and papa. We bake goods and give them to our family and friends. My favorite tradition is spending time with my family and friends. AA1
ReplyDeleteA tradition our family does is we have our grandma come over to our house. Also we have a big feast. And we get ready for christmas.

ReplyDeleteWe usually go out to eat the night before thanksgiving day. We sometimes go to our friends house or they come here. We always have a football game with our friends. This year my cousins are coming. I only like the turkey and pumpkin pie on thanksgiving so thats all I eat. My team usually wins our football game and we also watch the football game on tv while we eat. Sam McIntosh
ReplyDeleteMy family usually stays at home our go to our grandmas house. We eat turkey, gravy, rolls, and pumpkin pie. We watch the football game and play a football game sometimes. I think of thanksgiving as a food fest. everyone running through stores trying to get the best turkey. this is what we usually do very thanksgiving. And we are going to a really snowy place called Chevelon Canyon to get a Christmas tree!!! Cooper Wrzosek #21

ReplyDeleteWhat I do for thanksgiving is go to the park for a little bit like about 30 minutes then go home. Then we go to the kitchen and make sweet potatoes and turkey! Sometimes we watch some holiday movies and chill for a little bit and gather around our family members and some friends and eat our turkey and talk about what we are thankful for. Sometimes I like to play outside with my friends and we talk about what we are thankful for and it’s very fun, we do lots and lots of things for thanksgiving that I can’t even explain! Usually I do not go anywhere other than go somewhere in this state, other than that I never go to any other states or places that are not in Arizona. Some years my grandparents come to my house but they don’t come that much anymore. :’(
My grandma lives in Arizona but she doesn’t come so much because she lives kind of far from where I live. I think this holiday is special for me because we get to share special things and what we are thankful for and it is so awesome! I love to share special things to one another especilly my famly and friends and qrandparents! That is why I think that Thanksgiving is awesome and wonderful!

Our holiday tradition for thanksgiving is to go to grandma and grandpas house for Turkey and all the other fixings. All of our cousins are there so we are able to play and have fun. This year we are having a Friendsgivnig on Wednesday with my best friend Ashlee and her family and other families in the neighborhood. We will be playing kickball at the park and have a fun framily tradition. This holiday is important to me because we get to give thanks to all of our friends and family and make new memories. This is why this holiday is important to me and special because we get to give thanks! Tatum Vigilante #19
ReplyDeleteA tradition that my family does for thanksgiving is going and cooking and killing our own turkey. Every year we usually go somewhere like our cousins house or our aunt's house. It is cool because are plans this year is every body from our family is coming out to the white mountains and have a big camping fest. Some year's people come to our house but most of the time I usually go somewhere. What makes this holiday special is that every body from my family like cousins and aunt's and uncle's are all getting together. 2 year's ago my whole family did this. This is going to be a really fun thanksgiving.

My family has many traditions for Thanksgiving. One thing we do is make home made corn bread. Another thing we do is make home made butter. Another thing we do is go to the pool In till our Thanksgiving Dinner is done. One more thing we do is we go to Flag staff to go ski and snowboard. Those are all my traditions that my family and I do on Thanksgiving have a great Thanksgiving I know I will. :) Nico jorge #11 Preston's class 11/25/14
ReplyDeleteOur traditions are having turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberries, stuffing and more Thanksgiving foods. We have appetizers before Thanksgiving dinner mostly vegetables. No, my family doesn't go any where for Thanksgiving. Yes, my uncle and my aunt usually come over for our Thanksgiving dinner. Its special for me because I get the time to talk with my family. Its also special because we get to be thankful for lots of things.

My family's tradition in thanksgiving is when we always go to our grandmas house and we celebrate there. Our relatives come too. And every thanksgiving we have this writing and someone will have to read it, and everyone in the house will gather around he table and say what we are thankful for. Sometime our cousins would come and we would play some sports. Our relatives will bring stuffing, turkey, cranberries, and mostly bread. But we just don't eat just that we would have some food that is not thanksgiving related. ~Frances
