Assignment 14 Tommy Gardner

For my family, Thanksgiving is pretty close to what one would expect from a normal Thanksgiving. A giant turkey that took all day to make, mashed potatoes, and all sorts of other food. We eat what we can, and what is left, we put in the fridge to be saved for lunches. As for enjoying the holiday, I don't really enjoy Thanksgiving, but at the same time, I don't really have anything against it. Not much happens on Thanksgiving, other than most people make too much food. During school on Tuesday before break, I heard a lot of people expressing the same opinion. "Thanksgiving is a pointless holiday. It is just an excuse to get out of school." For most people, that is all that Thanksgiving is to them. A way to get out of work or school. And as for the most memorable Thanksgiving, I'm going to have to go with Thanksgiving 2004. My parents had a bunch of friends at our house for dinner. My brothers and I, being little kids, were payed little attention and were pretty much left to do as we wanted. The reason I remember this Thanksgiving is because my older brother who at the time was allergic to milk, vomited under the table, because he had eaten some cheese cubes.
