Assignment 14- Megan Woodrum

Thanksgiving happens to be one of my favorite holidays. In a way I have two separate holidays; one with my mom's family and the other with my dad's. My mom's family is the one that can cook. I'm talking an entire kitchen stuffed with food in every nook and cranny, crockpots spilling over with mashed potatoes and decent different desserts. My mom has a huge family, she is one of six kids, who all have kids, who have started to have kids of their owns. After we have all stuffed our selfves past the point of being full everyone sits around drinking coffee and letting thier food settle. The best part is after that we spend the day with the women siting around working on a puzzle gossiping, while the men sit around watching football and fall asleep on the couch. My dad's family is a little different we meet a different day and then we stuff our selves, with a much smaller aray of food, and then everyone falls asleep somewhere for about two Hours and then we either play a sport or watch them. I love thanksgiving and the different traditions I have with each side of my family, and I cherish it every year.
