Thanksgiving

My thanksgiving is pretty stereotypical. Most of my family comes over to my house to spend the holiday. My dad gets up pretty early and starts cooking, he pretty much does it all. Somewhat opposite of most families where the mom does the cooking, my mom doesn't do anything. He cooks a turkey and a ham along with a whole lot of other stuff. My sister used to help but I guess she outgrew the tradition and I help with the occasional side dish. What I usually get stuck doing is making the fruit salad, deviled eggs, broccoli casserole, along with whatever else I am needed to do. When my dad finally gets done cooking, usually around two or three, we all get together and eat. Nothing too exciting but its always fun. Then me and my sister have a tradition of going black Friday shopping and this year we took it to the extreme by going at midnight when all of the crazies were out. It was fun but I didn't go to bed until 11, that was a longgg day for me but I would say it was worth it and it made for some good memories.
