Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving holiday is filled with many festive traditions embraced by millions of Americans each year.
So what is it that makes this holiday so special and loved?
Is it the travel?
Family members come from far and wide to be together on this holiday. Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the year!
Is it the food?
Traditional foods such as turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes pumpkin and pecan pies are popular Thanksgiving staples. Just typing these words is making my mouth water! And if you like cooking, then making all of these scrumptious treats (or at the very least eating them) is also part of the Thanksgiving fun.
Is it spending time with family?
People make an effort on Thanksgiving to spend time with their loved ones, and often, it’s the only time during the year that families separated by long distances actually see each other.
