Each year, on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, my family (along with many other members of my church) delivers Thanksgiving baskets all around the city of Lexington. We deliver to the elderly, homebound, disabled, widowed, and single mothers all around the city: a 10-pound turkey, canned goods, eggs, butter, vegetables, and ingredients to make a proper Thanksgiving feast. I love doing this because I love talking to the recipients of the baskets; I always learn so much.
On Thanksgiving, my mom's side of the family gets together at a church in Waynesburg (which, if you don't know, is a little old country town in Eastern KY). We get to see lots of family and eat AMAZING food. Then, we go to my granny's house, watch the Cowboys football game on TV, and spend more time with family.
On the day after Thanksgiving, my dad's side of the family gets together at my grandmother's house in Lexington (which is great because I get to see my cousins from Tennessee). We have more great food and play football outside in the usually pleasant weather.
Yes, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the family, the fun, and the food. I also love serving others, and Thanksgiving is a great time to do that.
