Thanksgiving, to me, is considered one of the best holidays. I love how family, football and food fit into one day. This year Cali and I went to her parent's house for the feast, its small Thanksgiving to me compared to the past because there are not a lot of relatives around this year for the holidays. However, I enjoyed the meal that was served and the company that I sat with at the table. The Ham, the Turkey, The stuffing, the jello pie, the mashed potatoes and gravy, and the other delicious items. The plate full of food looked something like this:
And that food on the table made it even better to eat:
Note: I did not take pictures of the table and the meal because I was too busy eating.
However, the food was splendid. I do love pie on Thanksgiving. This is the other part of the feast. I love the varieties, this year I had the privilege of indulging myself with pumpkin, cherry, and chocolate pie.
The Other part of thanksgiving is football. I am grateful to live in a country where we can have great entertainment. I am grateful for people who decide to share their talents with us on national Television. I am grateful for the tradition to watch the Cowboys and the Lions play football on the same day and it doesn't matter if they suck, they will play every year and for the rest of the existence of football.
The last part of Thanksgiving is family. I love Family. Every year and from now on I know that when the holidays arrive I will be surrounded by people who love my wife and I. I am grateful for the large family that I have. I am grateful for my brother who is off serving in the military somewhere. Because of him and those like him with other families across this great country, they are out defending the very liberties and freedoms that help make us appreciate this Great Holiday. I am grateful for my wife and I am glad this is the first Thanksgiving we have had together. I know there will be many more memorable Thanksgivings that we will share in the future. I am grateful for parents who reared us both and taught us right from wrong. I am grateful for siblings that we have, her brothers and sister, and my brother and sister, I grateful to know that they will be with us right up to the end.
All the people in this photo were out celebrating Thanksgiving in other parts of this country and in other countries around the world. But i am still grateful for those we love.
These are my Thanksgiving thoughts. Food, Football, and Family...... This is what I love about this Holiday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
