Every year, on the last Thursday of November families and friends gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving. On this holiday, we celebrate all that we are thankful for and everything and everyone we hold dear in our hearts. Every year my whole family gathers together at my house and everyone brings food and drinks where we cook the meal together as a family. We laugh and sing and smile and dance, but we do so as a family.   

Family is one of the most important things in life, because no matter how rough and tough life will get, I know that I will always have the comfort and strength that is provided from my family. Sometimes families fight and sometimes they just don’t get along, but there comes a point where you forgive each other because these are the people who will be in your world for the rest of  your life. Luckily, Thanksgiving is a day where we can celebrate our families and friends. A day where people can truly reflect and think what they are thankful for, a day where we smile and laugh and share the most embarrassing, but hilarious stories!

I hope that this year, everyone will take a little time to think about what they’re thankful for and then take a little time to tell them, I guarantee you that you will make their day. This year I am thankful for so much: I am thankful for my family, friends, for the people that put smiles on my face, the people who are kind, my education, that fall color the trees turn when autumn comes, my teachers, my pet fish Timo, and all the people in the world who strive to make this world, a better place. I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving and a fun filled break!
