Argumentative Essay: A Happy Thanksgiving Day

The First Thanksgiving Everyone knows about Thanksgiving and eating turkey and pie, with a little cranberry sauce.

For the rest of the night, I watched my relatives put the glorious food on their plates, and stuff their mouths with dessert with their insatiable appetite, and I repeatedly asked my parents if we could go home so I could wallow in peace. After what seemed like eons, my parents agreed to bring me home. Because I didn’t eat any Thanksgiving food, I sulked in the car all the way home. Little did I know that my day would soon worsen and take a turn for the worse…

Much to my disappointment this never happened at my Thanksgiving dinner. This myth made me wonder how the children who's Thanksgiving did not look even close to the myth.

I went and played basketball with all my cousins and finally when the second turkey was ready ( I didn't ruin this one) we all sat down and ate a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. When the time came for everyone to start heading home we helped everyone gather their stuff and wished them farewell.

Print. “A Modest Proposal to Destroy Western Civilization as We Know It” a paper by Bill McKibben to give us insight about the lost holiday spirit.

It is called Black Friday because it takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
