Thanksgiving is a holiday to celebrate with family and friends. People spend it all different ways and at different times. Most people usually celebrate this holiday on Thursday followed by shopping on Black Friday.

One of the most important college football games come on the following Saturday. Thanksgiving week has so many important events that make thanksgiving so fun!

Everyone loves Thanksgiving because of the delicious food you share with family and friends. Most families cook a huge feast to eat on Thanksgiving. Families usually cook many side items like mac n cheese, beans, and deviled eggs. Most families also have a lot of dessert-like pumpkin pie.

When everyone thinks of a Thanksgiving dinner, you think of ham and turkey. Ham and turkey have been served at Thanksgiving meals for so many years. Thanksgiving dinner with these foods goes all the way back to the 1600s. The Thanksgiving tradition all started with the Pilgrims.

Gathering with family is a huge part of the Thanksgiving celebration. Some families only see some of their family members during the holiday. Gathering with family and friends over a delicious meal is what Thanksgiving is all about. Thanksgiving is a holiday many families look forward to.

Family time is always the best time and especially when it involves food. Thanksgiving in my family is when I see some of my family I only see during the holidays. We are all so busy so the holidays are the only time we have with each other. Enjoying family time and a meal is a great way to spend Thanksgiving.

Football

Usually, on Thanksgiving, there will be some kind of football game on. People in the south love watching football. The Saturday after Thanksgiving is when one of the biggest games in college football comes on. The Alabama and Auburn game has always been played the Saturday after this holiday.

Some families do not ever gather to eat Thanksgiving until that Saturday. Families do this to eat a good meal, watch football, and see family all at the same time. In the south, we love family, football, and food. So having this huge game near Thanksgiving, is a huge advantage.

The fall weather is so beautiful. This is when the leaves turn yellow, brown, and orange. During the fall, the leaves start to fall and the weather starts to cool down. During the fall, the weather is so nice. The weather is not too hot or not too cold. It is perfect to be outdoors.

Fall weather is perfect for playing outside. It also is the perfect weather to go hiking or play outdoor sports. With the leaves changing colors and falling it makes being outside great with a beautiful view. Fall will always be my favorite because of the great weather and Thanksgiving.

Shopping

Everyone knows what comes the day after Thanksgiving. The day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday. Black Friday is when stores have great deals for Christmas. A lot of people shop because of the good prices and trying to prepare for Christmas coming.

Some stores nowadays, open Thanksgiving night and open early Black Friday morning. Some people even spend the night outside of stores to make sure that does not miss a deal. People go crazy over the good deals and working retail sure is not fun on this big holiday.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
