Thanksgiving Traditions

“For Thanksgiving, my family decorates with an inflatable turkey outside our house, and we eat turkey and ham. And we have a big family get-together. My dad’s side comes over, we eat green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. Usually we watch football and have a bunch of people over; it’s like a whole thing.”  - Jocelyn Clifford...

“We decorate our house for Christmas, but not Thanksgiving. It’s not a big get together; it’s just four of us: me, my parents and my grandma. We eat turkey - no ham, mac and cheese, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.” - Emerson Clute...

“I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so it’s really just a normal day for me. We still eat dinner, but it’s not a Thanksgiving dinner, it’s just… dinner. Sometimes we spend time with family members, it’s kind of different every year; last year we went to Hawaii because my cousins live there.”   - Eliana Peña ...
