Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving-over all the second biggest celebration in the US, but definatly the biggest food party during the year! Thanksgiving was this year on Nov, 23rd. On Wednesday before Thanksgiving our pricipal dismissed us early, that we have enough time to prepar for the day after it! On the actual Thanksgiving day, a lot of people start with going to church and after that to some family members or friends. Because I personaly dont have my own family over here...and allthe other members of my hostfamily are living more or less far away, we went to friends of my hostparents. About 10 people and a 22 lbs Turkey! That was more than enough for everybody! And of course we also hab all the other typical food but the turkey such as mashed potatos, pumkin pie, baked beans, gravy, dressing (stuffing) and some other stuff I cant think off right now!!!!
After the big meal everybody watches football, or takes a nap...kind of depends how u feel. Most people first watch the football and than go bed!
Thanksgiving is the biggest food and family party of the year.....30 million Americans traveled out od town to see their family.....and that in a country were the most familys live in one city and not all over the country!
