Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Tons and tons of endless delicious food brings warmth and joy to the entire family. I usually travel to Ohio to visit my grandma, grandpa, aunts and uncle along with couple cousins. They all live in the same house, so it's an even bigger pow wow when I arrive. My grandma and aunts don't make turkey, but they take note of the occasion and serve up something special. This year it was shark fin soup, which is alright. But last year, they made an enormous pot of pho (a Vietnamese soup so good it cures all sadness and depression). I had four bowls in one day. We also went to a party where my dad reunited with his cousins, so that was a bonus for him. Typically we go shopping on one day of the weekend, just to browse and get some out of the house. We're not die hard Black Friday shoppers, but the sales do sometimes grab our attention. Overall, we view Thanksgiving as a time when we can all spend time together.
