It was very frustrating but one day a few weeks after my I had last practiced I decided to practice on my own by driving around the block while my dad was at work.

Thanksgiving is the best holiday because in general, society and many American families celebrate it traditionally and creatively. Preparation for the feast can be spread amongst the whole family. Children peel potatoes, grandmothers bake the pies, and mothers and fathers prepare sides and dress the turkey . Each year, while everyone is joyously preparing food together in the kitchen I always envision the pilgrims and members of the Wampanoag tribe feeling the same pleasant and thankful atmosphere the day of their first thanksgiving. .
