My Thanksgiving
Comments(4) Every year on the wednesday before thanksgiving, I have the day off. This usually just means sleeping in and doing nothing, until we get around dinner time (5:30-6:30). If thanksgiving is at my house that year, we go out shopping for the turkey, the stuffing, cranberry sauce, ingredients to make pie, and more. This year however, thanksgiving is at my grandma’s house. She lives in Shelby Township (by detroit) which is about one and a half to two hours away. My Aunt, Uncle, 2 cousins, grandma, my mom, my dad, my brother and sister and me are all going to be in her crowded apartment on thanksgiving. But every year that it’s at her house, she tends to pull it off. She is a great cook!!
Another thing that I always think of at thanksgiving is black friday. That is the one thing that I truly look forward to every year. On Wednesday and thursday, me and my mom spend some time looking on the internet and at the thanksgiving paper and planning our black friday route. We usually always hit best buy first, then go to Target as our first stops. But it kind of depends on what people we are buying for and what they want.
But anyway, I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving!!!
hey Jessi! That sounds like so much fun! I really like to go shopping on black friday too!
Jessi this is a really good written report about Thanksgiving. We don’t celebrate it here in New Zealand so it seems a little strange to us, although you did a great job of explaining what your family does so that helped us understand it.

Thank you for leaving your reply. To tell you more about thanksgiving, it’s the 3rd thursday of november. Some history for you: When the pilgrims had a really rough season of growing their crops, the native americans taught the pilgrims how to catch a turkey, keep their corn and potatoes safe from frost, animals, etc., and how to make a cranberry sauce. Now it’s a national holiday!
