Thanksgiving: The Myth Of Thanksgiving

When people ask me a favor and I have the ability to do it I just can’t say no. This is seen in the story when Holden helps a little girl tighten her skates, “She was having a helluva time tightening her skate. She didn't have any gloves on or anything and her hands were all red and cold. I gave her a hand with it” (Salinger 132). A personal life experience is when my church goes to feed the homeless (every other saturday) my mom and I make food and take it along with us.

One of the special meals my Family has had last year was tamales on Thanksgiving,the reason why we had tamales is because my dad buys them from a lady from my neighborhood and that year he decided to share them to us and my whole family and everyone was there to enjoy the food we brought and we had music family and all the food was gone which is a good thing because everyone enjoyed it

Thanksgiving means to me that when the family gets together to eat and have conversations.We usually watch the Dallas Cowboys play.Most of time there is an abundant amount of food.We either go to more than one house or we switch houses every year. I think that Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to get together and share what you have done over the year and eat a bunch of food.We always adorn the house on Thanksgiving.I also think we get together because the Pilgrims and Indians got together.Thanksgiving is a time to feast and watch football games and spend time with your family.If it is not to cold out we usually play football with my cousins or uncles. We always have comical jokes.It is the best holiday of the year except christmas.This

In the background I could hear a pan sizzling as my grandpa was cooking for our Thanksgiving Dinner. I could already smell how good the Thanksgiving Dinner would be. I could see our kitchen being a mess. I was happy! Everybody was having a good time, playing cards, talking to each other, like everybody should do on Thanksgiving.

The Seder is a family gathering feast that the Jewish families went to. In the intro of the book Hannah says “I am not hungry. I ate a big dinner at Rosemary’s. And I do not want to go to the Seder. Aaron and and I will be the only kids there and everyone will say how much we have grown even though they just saw us last months” (3-4).

He even dedicates a whole chapter dedicated to home and family. We can see that relationships are vital in their community by something as simple as inviting other people into their homes to eat dinner. Luther Standing Bear explained how his mother would prepare food with some relatives and would ask his father to come and invite some friends over. His father would always bring older men and they would eat, sing, and tell stories. These feasts would strengthen the ties between his father and other people within the community.

3. Give a deserving family a store gift card to help fund their Thanksgiving dinner. Family and Friends One of the best parts about Thanksgiving is getting together with your family and friends and enjoying each other’s company. Of course, there is no perfect family. Every single family has their share of problems.

Even though none of the family knew anything about each other they all had difficult situations going on the day of thanksgiving. But through all the hard times that had occurred throughout their lives they all managed to come together and eat a thanksgiving dinner whether or not they all got along during it. In the end they all realized that nothing is more important than family because no matter how unwelcome you might make them feel , they're always there for you to fall back

Christmas is my favorite holiday because every year ever since I could remember, our family gets together to make Tamales, one of the traditional foods in Hispanic culture. This get together is known as Tamalada Day, and we cook pork, beef, beans and make masa which is spread onto ojas which eventually are steamed and formed into the delicious food we eat on Christmas Eve. I still remember how when I was younger, family functions were dear to me because it meant getting to spend time with my elders. My grandparents were always quick to correct, discipline, or teach me when I would speak incorrectly, treat someone else rudely, or act uneducated. My great grandmother, who recently died at the age of one hundred and two, taught me wise little sayings and really showed me how to open my heart to the world and show appreciation for everything that life has brought to me.

"Giving Back" to the community Growing up in a rural, traditional community called Taylorville was a great experience. Every household knew his or her next door neighbors and who lived down the street, so strangers did not exist for them in that area. If you needed something such as flour or sugar, you could go next door and ask without any hesitation. On Sundays, the community as a whole would attend church and then go home to enjoy an afternoon dinner crafted by the mother or grandmother of the household. The children in the community were respectful and well-mannered to adults.
