Thanksgiving Day thoughts?
5 years ago
It’s been a while since I posted a journal so I thought I’d start a conversation with one.
What’s everyone’s thoughts on thanksgiving day?
I’m well aware of the day’s dark past but the way I see it that’s not why it’s celebrated anymore. To me it’s always been about food and spending time with those you care about. It’s also a chance for us to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for, in spite of how challenging and awful life can sometimes be.
My fondest memories are from my childhood when my grandparents were both still alive, we spent thanksgiving with them every year and nowadays I look back and laugh at how my poor old grandmother always cooked only one can of each vegetable thinking it was enough for everyone x3 she was used to cooking for only two people so she always forgot how much people can eat. I loved her very much and I think about her and my grandfather a lot.

Now that I'm in my 20's, I tend to the avoid the later events, but I've learned to make new traditions with friends and for myself, using the day as an excuse to slip into stores that are open late, and just window shop. When everyone else if trying to get a 10% off TV or game console, it's usually easy to get 50% off socks or candles or just junk items.
