thanksgiving-dinner

What is thanksgiving really???…Basically it’s the celebration of the harvest festival in November where autumn is at its peak. An American tradition I find quiet warming; it’s like a pre-Christmas where all the family get together to celebrate a spread of delicious food and company.

But should there be only one thanksgiving. We should get together more often and share our thanks for what we’ve been blessed with. A beautiful bird cooked to perfection, boy I would be thankful if my family tried getting together more often. Maybe this year I can plan a surprise dinner.

My question is what’s your ultimate thanksgiving dish you look forward to???

I remember when I was little we all would have a Thanksgiving dinner at our local church. The church would provide the turkey and dressing and the church members would bring something. It would be the biggest potluck dinner of the year. We would then get up during the dinner to say our thanks. It was a time that everyone came together with no matter who they were or what type of income they had. All were welcome. I miss those days.

In our country we dont celebrate thanks giving but we celebrate Christmas which is a fun time for everyone. We usually have dinners and lunches that involves the family members cousins and other relatives and friends as well. There is usually a lot of eating singing and and genearllt just catching up especially for those who have been away.

thanksgiving is one the best festivals that bring to gathers all old and young family members at one platform in November the season of Autumn. Many years before I attended Thanksgiving at the local church in my country with my friend. It was evening time.

The Bishop and the Priest both were my close friends. Bishop asked me what to eat today in the Thanksgiving Party because you are our close friends. Pondering over the questions I told him to to roast drakes. I requested my friend to bring drakes catching from river.

The next day he brought ten drakes we all were overjoyed and roasted all one by one. drakes were tasty in eating its red meat was very delicious. We all ate peacefully. thus we all enjoyed Thanksgiving Party in my country local church.

Still I remind of all faces flew I do not know where. I miss them all faces but all luck in my memory lock.
