Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. Don't get me wrong I love Christmas too, but there’s something about Thanksgiving that makes it slightly better than Christmas.
The food is probably at the top of that list. Nothing compares to the smell of Thanksgiving dinner cooking when I walk into my aunts house. Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin soup, and squash ravioli; nothing, absolutely nothing can beat that. I wake up, have a small break fast, and literally starve myself for the rest of the day that way I don’t feel guilty for eating as much as a 300 pound man.
Not to mention the dessert. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I make some damn good pumpkin cookies. And then there’s grape pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheese cake, and Nonni’s chocolate chip cookies, the list goes on and on. You stand there debating what dessert to take and you finally give into trying a little of everything because, eh it’s a holiday.
And then there’s the company. What’s better than eating your life away with the people you love? Oh yeah there isn’t anything better. I love giving and receiving gifts at Christmas, but Thanksgiving is just about being together. There’s no pressure about buying a great gift or pretending to like something so you don’t hurt anyones feelings. It’s just about having a good time with the people you are most thankful for. Then you get to go back for leftovers, eat thanksgiving dinner for a second time, and see your family again.
P.S. Not to mention the mannequin challenge we completed and Nonni completely crushed it.
