Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so get your food baby clothes ready! A holiday that is all about food and the people you love surrounding you, you just couldn’t go wrong with Thanksgiving. I know that all throughout the year, this is what everyday life is like, but for some reason during the holiday’s it truly shows. The I love you’s are stronger, hugs more earnest, kindness a little more meaningful, and the kisses more tender. When you’re away from family, you start to count down the days to when you can feel whole again. Till the time that you can share amazing food or fight over who gets the last slice of Grandmas’ famous pumpkin pie. Where the same cringe worthy questions are asked year after year, “how are your grades,” “are you dating anyone,” “how’s school going?” All you do is smile and answer politely; even though that’s most likely the third time you’ve answered the question and you have over four aunts and uncles. Then when Christmas comes around be prepared to answer them again. Even though these questions can drive you crazy, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Leading up to thanksgiving I am dreaming about dancing turkeys, homemade mac n’ cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and the endless amounts of deserts. Excuse my drool. Tis the holiday to not care that your pants button just flew across the room and knocked aunt Barbra out. Thanksgiving is just the best, besides your uncles arguing about sports and then politics. You just want them to stuff their mouths with stuffing and be quiet. You share so many memories and laughter, that at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter that your jaw is in so much pain from eating and talking. All you want to do is pass out and do it all over again the next day.

This year I hope with everything going in the world, people can put aside their differences and share a plate of kindness with one another. Be thankful, be kind, be loving; for we have so much to live for and to be thankful for. I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving and gobble til’ you wobble!
