For me Thanksgiving is about remembering how we got to where we are. Remembering those who came before us to help us get where we are. It is a chance to get together with family and friends and think about our history as well as look to the future. And honestly, for me, it's also a little bit about football. Eating and watching football has always been a big part of Thanksgiving in my family. We have a football tradition, every year we play the "Turkey Bowl". The Turkey Bowl is a 1 hour touch-football game where we split the family into 2 teams and play before we eat. It's all in fun, and it works up an appetite.

What Thanksgiving means to me is giving thanks for what we have and spending time with family. Last year we had a big feast. It was so fun. I felt like I was going to burst open because I ate so much and had so much fun. It was the greatest Thanksgiving day ever.
I think we celebrate because that is the day that the Pilgrims came to America. It is an important day because America’s third group of people had come. One of our relatives may be a Pilgrim, you never know. This Thanksgiving I had some friends over. We had food but not as much. I didn’t like any of it, but the pumpkin bread was great.
Then we went to play some soccer. Kids won but I got a jammed toenail. But it was still fun. My family has the same friends over every Thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving we had them over again. I also had my friend Unni over but not at the same time.
Thanksgiving to me is about spending time with our families. It is one of the few times our entire family gets together. This year was different, we stayed in New York because my mom had to work. My mom, dad and brothers all celebrated Thanksgiving after my mom got off work. We went to New Jersey and ate at Cracker Barrel for dinner because my mom said she didn't want to make a big mess for just the five of us. Next year, we will go to North Carolina and celebrate with our big family! We celebrate Thanksgiving because we have to thank the pilgrims for coming to America and getting together for a huge feast.

Ingridients for turkey
1 lg onion
salt
3 cloves of garlic
2 scallions
1 sm lime
fine thyme
seasoning pepper
ginger
Combine all ingredients together in food processor. Blend until all ingredients are chopped very fine.
Season turkey with chopped seasoning inside and out, even under skin preheat oven to 375 degrees.Bake until turkey thermometer pops.Remember to keep basting turkey with its own juice so turkey will not dry.
