POLL What is one tradition your family Turkey day traditions practices during the holidays? By Jonathan Terbeche [email protected]
Around ten, I awake and fumble around for the remote to turn on my TV. I quickly flip to channel five and gaze upon the wonderment of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. As I slowly wake up, staring at the numerous floats on the screen, my mom enters my room and wishes me a happy Thanksgiving. Fully awake, I enter the kitchen and another of our traditions begins. Preparing the Thanksgiving day feast is always a fun, sometimes hectic, but always memorable occurrence. I usually get the task of mixing, opening, and tasting, alongside my step- father. Hours spent working on the meal, and then watching some “My birthday falls on the holi- “Meeting up with family, “I go on vacations usually to Ha- “Acknowledge God because holiday specials on TV.

By this time, the turkey’s done. From the sweet cornbread, to the warm mashed potatoes, and of course the moist, tender turkey, the Thanksgiving meal tastes only better knowing we all helped make it (and didn’t burn down the house). It’s only on days like today that we all sit together and eat at the table, covered in a special festive cloth. After dinner, we exchange cards and small gifts to make the evening even more special. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way to making our Thanksgiving unique and special. If there are any other specials or movies on TV then we watch them together as well before heading to bed at the end of a very special day. That’s how my family celebrates Thanksgiving. Over the years we’ve done different things, spent some with more family, and “We do ‘parrandas’ and cel- “Big Puerto Rican dinner of “I’m excited to spend time with “We usually have dinner and even traveled other years.
