Assignment 14- Nick Joseph

For my family, Thanksgiving is a pretty big holiday.  Every year, we go to both my mom's and dad's childhood homes.  On my mom's side, we have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.  We eat turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, etc.  My mom's three siblings all bring their families too.  We all sit around the table and have conversation about a wide variety of topics.  My dad's parents live on a farm, and our Thanksgiving meal there is a little more unique.  We have all of the normal Thanksgiving foods, but we also grill venison, turkey, and dove that we have hunted throughout the year.  This is a much more casual get together than my mom's side of the family.  We play football and end the day with a big bonfire.  Every year I look forward to Thanksgiving because it is an opportunity to spend time with my large family, and this year is no exception.
