Thanksgiving

This years thanksgiving was really busy! I had like three thanksgivings in one day, each with different people. My mom even baked four pumpkin pies so we would have enough!

My first thanksgiving was breakfast at my house with my grandmother. My parents made pumpkin pie waffles and eggs with turkey sausage. My mom was also going to make turkey bacon, but there was not enough time since we all woke up late. We came down to eat at around 10 and I just about stuffed myself! (But I left a little room since I knew we were eating pumpkin pie later.)

My second thanksgiving was lunch in a private dining room in my grandfathers nursing home, with of course, my grandfather. We went to Whole foods before we came and we bought turkey, mashed potatoes, and carrots. My mom brought the pumpkin pie, green beans, and whipped cream. The only problem was, as soon as we sat down to eat, we realized that we forgot the turkey! We couldn’t find it anywhere, even though I thought that we bought it. We ended up just eating the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie with the whipped cream on it.

My third and last thanksgiving was at my old neighbors house who now live in Onion Creek. It has been a tradition of ours to always have thanksgiving with them, and my family did not wan o break it even though they had moved away. It was like a feast, because they had a huge family who came and everyone brought something. My family brought sweet potatoes and our remaining pumpkin pie. They live on a golf course, so before the food was ready, I stayed outside and played on the golf course with my old neighbors niece, who is three. Then I stuffed myself full of turkey, sweet potatoes, bread rolls, and pumpkin pie.

Do you like the winter season better than the summer season?

My favorite season is the winter. I love winter. I love that it always smells like a campfire at night, and I love that I get to go iceskating, and I love drinking hot chocolate in my living room next to the fire place. Winter is amazing! And the fact that Christmas is my favorite holiday probably has something to do with that. Christmas/winter/New Years break is the best, because all I do is stay at home an watch movies, go Iceskating at least once a day, drink hot cocoa, and decorate the Christmas tree!!! I know a lot of people travel over the holidays, or go skiing, but I love staying here.

I love the summer too, but its so long, and I have more days of boredom than I have of fun. In the summer, what I mainly look forward to is summer camp, and thats only for two weeks. In winter, I am always doing something, whether its watching a christmas movie like Elf, or going iceskating.

Also, I absolutely LOVE winter clothing. I just love wearing knitted sweaters with a scarf, black leggings, and boots!!!!! I think it’s because I just like the feeling of being warm and cozy, but not hot and sweaty like the temperature in the summer.

Please comment on whatever season is your favorite, even if its spring or fall.

Preposition Poem: Iceskating

Through the tunnel of lights
Into the skates
Laces looped around the shining silver hook
Onto the rink of slippery ice
Sliding along the rim
Across the shimmering glaze
Away from the chattering crowd
Carving swirls within the middle
Among the chilling wind
Frost biting at your fingertips
But you don’t care because you are drifting off amid the swirling snow and deep into daydreams.
