Well guys Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the mad rush is on to host a fabulous Thanksgiving event for family and friends... or to get home in time for the holidays!
I know not everyone on this site will have celebrated Thanksgiving but for those of us who do, we know what a special time it is. We had all those usual traditions. Watching the football, the parade, Charlie Brown, and that huge traditional Thanksgiving dinner where we felt that we might never need to eat again! LOL!
But our family had a few traditions of our own where it didn't feel like Thanksgiving if we didn't have them. We always play Uno, always watch Kindergarten Cop 😂 and always serve cherry glazed ham because that was my grandpa's favorite.
For those of you who grew up celebrating Thanksgiving, what do the holidays mean to you and did your family have any special traditions?
Thanksgiving, one of my all-time favorite holidays! Even though I am American, I did grow up in Europe for a while, and even then my parents went to the effort of keeping the Thanksgiving tradition going. We were lucky because there was an American community where we were so it didn't feel strange celebrating in a country that didn't have the holiday. In fact it's things like that that made me feel less homesick and actually enjoy where we were living, especially as we moved around every so often.
When we made the permanent move back to the States, celebrating Thanksgiving was even better because we got to see our extended family. I'm married now so Thanksgiving is kind of split between the two families but for me that's what Thanksgiving is all about - family!
