Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Every year, my family gathers to celebrate and enjoy delicious food. It is a day where we can spend quality time together and share what we are thankful for. It is a great opportunity for us to reminisce about how grateful we are for what we have. My family loves to cook Thanksgiving food such as turkey, mashed potatoes, and corn. However, we also like to include some of our own traditional Spanish and Italian food. We usually also have some rice and pasta on Thanksgiving, even though they are not typically eaten on Thanksgiving. Every year, I look forward to eating delicious food with my family on Thanksgiving day.
