This may be late but whatever. Better late than never I always say..
To me, the typical Thanks giving seems soo overrated and cliche to me. It's always the same thing every year. Everything about it is so repetitive. Really, thought a persons typical thanksgiving consist of going over to visit family or having them all come to your house. Then typically there would be a big dinner with the same foods such as Turkey, stuffing, yams, turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, cake, pies and all this other stuff give or take a few items.But it's basically all the same every year. You never hear of someone having pizza for thanksgiving or idk peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. For someone not to have a turkey on thanksgiving its like the end of the world. There are people who are like how could you break tradition like that? And all in your face and everything over something so trivial. This just shows how people value routine. Activities may include family arguments, you may play some games while waiting for the food to get done some may even help with the cooking. Then there are those who watch football or some type of sport or something idk I'm not into that stuff.
So basically what I get out of Thanksgiving every year is that its just a day to sit around and hang out with a bunch of people whom you don't know, don't like or haven't seen in since the last year or a combination of all three. It is also a day to give people a reason to be fat and eat as much as they want and more than there stomach can physically hold while possibly getting into little spats and watching football.
So this holiday has been dedicated to getting fat in my opinion and hanging out with strangers. What a lovely thing to celebrate.
Now what I thought thanksgiving was suppose to be is entirely different. In my eyes thanksgiving, not about stuffing your face not even family and friends (but you can ya know celebrate with family and such, nothing really wrong with that I guess. To me its about being thankful. It's suppose to be a day that happens once a year, to stop whining and complaining about things and be thankful. Thankful for what? For everything you have. The opportunities you may have the challenges you might face. Just be thankful, because we all know, no matter what the situation is, it can always be worse.
