How is Thanksgiving day celebrated in the US and what are the primary dishes?
Thanksgiving for me, was always a time to gather around a table with loved ones and family and give thanks for the things in my life that I was thankful for. It was a very special holiday indeed and an opportunity to take a break from the day to day grind of life and enjoy some quality time with family and friends. I often remember the significance of this day being right along the same level as Christmas and the food served was much the same. The only real difference being that on Thanksgiving, no presents were exchanged as they are on Christmas.
The weather during this time of year is starting to get chilly so a variety so food appealing to the colder weather is prepared. The menu consists of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, bread stuffing, and pumpkin pie. The tradition in my family was always to have this meal together and basically spend the whole weekend amongst family and friends.
So, in honor of this special day, think about what are you thankful for and make sure to remember these things today!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
