Who's ready for some ham and turkey feast? I am!
I'm hungry for ham and crazy for turkey. I want some and now, so hurry on up Thanksgiv-ing.
I actually know someone whose birthday is on Thanksgiving this year, and that happens to be my grandmother, Linda. She is the best grandmother in the world. (Even though I think she spoils me and my brother too much!)
On Thanksgiving, a lot of people like to drink wine and ciders. On Thanksgiving, I personally LOVE apple cider. My parents get a whole bunch of different ciders like apple, grape, mango, and others.
Other things that some people eat on Thanksgiving are chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and even roasted carrots. My mother puts her ham and turkey on a platter surrounded by roasted vegeta-bles. Mmmm, that is one delicious platter!
We also have sweet potato casserole with roasted marshmallows and pecans on the top of it. My grandpa Bob makes oyster dressing that I think is gross. (Eek!)
And of course, desserts! I love pecan pie, but we always have pumpkin pie with whipped cream on the top. My mom's favorite dessert is Pumpkin Rolls.
I love to spend the holiday with my family playing board games while the Macy's parade is on TV. Sometimes we go out of town to visit family and friends.
My mother is from England. But the bad news is they don't celebrate Thanksgiving. Why! Why don't the British celebrate thanksgiving?
Well, I'm not going to let you cheat because that is one of my questions, even though I do have the answer, but I won't tell you where I found it so it will be a little more tricky for all of you.
Here are a couple of questions for you to answer. And I will put three of the best-described and right answers in next week's column.
1. What kind of traditions do you do over Thanksgiving and Christmas?
2. Why don't the British celebrate Thanksgiving?
