Over the past year i find that i have been drifting away from my family, and have been becoming more independent in my actions. Leading up to thanksgiving i had no idea what i was going to do and where i was going to eat. Looking at thanksgiving thats all i think about...eating. I look foward to it as the day in which i can eat as much as i want and its ok. So on my thanksgiving day i wasnt with my family all day. I woke up at 10 and went to play football all the way uptown on riverside park. I played the best football game i have played in a while, and was very happy. After around 4 o clock i went and met with my mom and cousins. We had a large dinner that was un traditional because it wasnt the regular thanksgiving food. It was more spanish food than any other.
When told to ask my family about why do we celebrate this day when native americans were killed because of it, i was going to ask. Half way through the dinner i felt as if there was no need to ask. I noticed durring that dinner that we dont really celbrate thanksgiving. As a family we honestly just have a big dinner and catch up with eachother. It wasnt a holiday as much as it was a reunion. Connecting back to the idea of having a good and meaningfull life, i think that this holiday is used to bring family together, and is to be chosen how to celebrate. There are no guidlines on how to celebrate it. Its more of the idea of do whats meaningfull to you, over a nice dinner.
In conclusion i had an enjoyable thanksgiving, because it was meaning full to me. The thing in which i found meaning full was getting closer to my family, and watchig my family get closer to eachother because without my family i would be nothing.
