I love Thanksgiving! It is definitely one of my favorite holiday's of the year for a multitude of different reasons.

Thanksgiving is amazing in my family first and foremost because of the food. Every year, members of my family cook different dishes to pass around during Thanksgiving. In our family, we start off with pumpkin soup. If you have never tried it before, I highly recommend it! It is by far one of the best soups I have ever had! I only get it once a year, so I savor it while it lasts! Then comes the main meal! We have classic turkey, ham, prime rib, stuffing (two kinds, one with sausage and one without), croissants, rolls, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables, cranberries, gravy, regular butter and our homemade butter! That doesn't even include the desert dishes, which are five or six different and new dishes every year! I am probably missing some dishes in this mix, but as you can tell, my family loves cooking for this holiday.

But ultimately, what I love more than the food is being in the presence of my amazing family. With many of my siblings being in college and many of my cousins the same, Thanksgiving is one of the only holidays where we are all brought together under one roof. I love spending time with my family because I love them more than words can express. You cannot beat great food, great family and great conversation! I am pretty lucky in the fact that I get Thanksgiving food four times a year! Once during Canadian Thanksgiving, and three times during Thanksgiving weekend; On thanksgiving, the day after (leftovers are always awesome!), and at my aunts house when we have our family and friends Thanksgiving Saturday!

So overall, this holiday could not come faster! I am ready to feast!
