My Thanksgiving Traditions
Thanksgiving Day has always been one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. When I was young, my mother would have the tradition of spreading out a quilt in front of the television set for me and my brother and sister to sit and watch the Detroit Thanksgiving Day Parade. We would get a vegetable tray with dip, pretzels, chex-mix, and potato chips. It was also the only time we would get to drink soda for breakfast. It could have just been a way for mom to get us out of her hair, but we had a great time. Now, I continued the tradition with my children. I run in and out of the kitchen trying to watch the parade while I'm cooking. My older children bring over the grandkids and we watch it together. Everyone in my family likes this tradition and I think they will continue to do it for a long time. I'm truly thankful for my small family, they are all that matters to me. God willing we will be together this year.

ReplyDeleteVal that is so nice. To drink soda for breakfast I think would be cool when you are a child. I know you look forward to thanksgiving every year just so you can have that soda. Continue your tradition with your children and your children children and your children children children....... Have a Bless, safe and Happy Holidays!
