Thanksgiving Week

Thanksgiving Week

          This thanksgiving week I spent it with my family. My uncles came down here to Los Angeles to celebrate with us; my uncles come from Oregon, Sacramento, and Bakersfield. It had been a while since they all came down so it was nice to see them all again and have fun as a family once again. Despite the fact that there were still some family members missing we had a really good time. Most days we would go over to my aunt’s house and cook and spend time together, but we also went out shopping. I still had class on Tuesday for AP government and went out with my boyfriend on Wednesday. I went out to dinner and then went to watch the movie Frankenstein; it is honestly a great movie. On thanksgiving I helped cooked we never have turkey because we do not like turkey so we make chicken. My mom made roasted chicken I made hot wings and lemon pepper wings and helped make some desserts. We went over to my aunt’s house once again and had dinner there, we had music karaoke and of course lots of fun. Friday we all helped clean up the house and get our families belongings together as they prepared for their trip back home. Saturday was my only day to relax as to I stayed home cleaned and watched a show for the rest of the day. Sunday well yesterday I went to Disneyland for the first time in my life. It is a really magical place I got o many rides and enjoyed watching the parade, firework show, and fantasmic. I would not ask for abettor week than what I had I enjoyed having my family over and Disney was like the cherry on top of the ice cream it just made this week really incredible.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a national holiday that is celebrated not only in the United States but in other countries as well. The first thanksgiving ever celebrated was celebrated by the pilgrims in Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts in 1621 after they survived a long winter. The colonist and Indians shared a meal or in better words shared dinner together. They shared this meal after their autumn harvest. It wasn’t until 1863 in the midst of the civil war that president Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national thanksgiving day to be held each November. Thanksgiving is celebrated by families gathering and doing their traditions. Some families go out on adventures while others stay in and cook ad have dinner together. Then the next day its Black Friday so many people go out and do their Christmas shopping. In my family we usually get together and have dinner. Family from Oregon and from up state come down to Los Angeles and we have our family dinner.
