Thanksgiving has always been a great day for me. I mean who wouldn’t love getting together with a ton of family that you don’t see that much and eating ridiculous amounts of food until you feel as if you are going to throw-up. I know I love it.

Thanksgiving is just a week away and I’m getting pretty excited. My grandparents are driving down from Maryland with there two dogs which will make for a pretty crazy house (though nothing compared to what Christmas is going to be like).

A couple memories I have of thanksgiving include; one year I had a really bad cold sore on the inside of my lip and it hurt more than anything! I was completely starving all day and every time I would try to eat my whole mouth would be in some serious pain. All Thanksgiving day I just sat around and watched other people enjoy everything that I love to eat so much. What a bummer….

Also something I love about turkey day is the football. There is always a good game on Thanksgiving and these days I’m pretty busy so I don’t always have a chance to sit around and enjoy watching this sport but on thanksgiving there is always time.

All in all I really love thanksgiving, probably not as much as Christmas and the day after Thanksgiving is going to be pretty killer (especially if you work at big lots) but it really is a great holiday to get with family and be thankful for all the great things we have.
