There are many ways people celebrate Thanksgiving. I celebrate Thanksgiving by being with family and eating. Just being with each other for this day makes my grandma happy. Since she works a lot (still not retired) she can't be with us to have these types of meals with us all the time. So she makes a lot of food and stuffs us like a humongous Build-A-Bear. That's what we have to be thankful for is just being together. I think of Thanksgiving as a prayer. You sit down and you give thanks to your family and friends, the plants and animals that gave their lives to feed us etc. There is so much you can be thankful for.
There once was a man, he was homeless but, even though he didn't have a family or friends or a warm home to come to, he still gave thanks for living. He didn't even have a huge meal to feed him on Thanksgiving day. He still was thankful of the little change he had, to buy just a slice of bread.So next time you eat at Thanksgiving just remember to be thankful for every little thing that you have. Also for all you Black Friday freaks, that man didn't even have money. Anything and everything is expensive to him. You want to pepper spray someone in the eye, just because you think your getting a really cheap t.v. Just remember and think about that situation and his situation.
The true meaning of Thanksgiving is in the flipping word. Key word: Thanks. Not eating till you throw up every color of the rainbow or waiting for 6 hours outside a Walmart for Black Friday. Its about 1 day where you don't think about the past or the future, just the present. Just stop in the present day and look around you, looking at all the privileges you have because most of the population doesn't appreciate what they have enough.
