As the campus quiets down for Thanksgiving, I am reminded of all the great things this mini-vacation means.
The Macy's Day parade first thing in the morning. All the people, the bands and the floats making their way down 34th Street. Then there are the huge inflatables. Even on the television they are magnificent to see.
Homemade mashed potatoes, delicious green bean casserole, juicy turkey, tasty cranberry sauce and that's only the beginning. You still have dessert. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, brownies and cakes.
Aww, one of the great holidays that you are actually expected to sit around and just eat all day long. Well, not everyone. Usually the moms and grandmothers and sometimes the daughters of the family gather in the kitchen and prepare the feast for the rest of the family.
This Thanksgiving, make sure you take the time to thank those who slave away and make all the goodies so that you can relax.
Try to remember that this is a day of thanks and that not everyone gets to even see their family for the holidays. Enjoy the time you have with them, I know I will.
