Thanksgiving

So this Thursday is thanksgiving. Thank god it is not at my house this year because last year it was a mad dash to set everything up the night before. See in my family we always wait until the last minute to do things so mom was up at like 3 in the morning still cooking and my brother and I were setting things up. This year will be different. We are going to my dad’s side of the family for breakfast around ten a.m. My grandpa always makes honey baked ham and it is the bomb. At this time we also draw names for the secret Santa, so we don’t have to buy gifts for all other family members. Around one o’clock or so we will be leaving there to go to my mom’s side of the family. My grandma there makes almost ever Thanksgiving dish imaginable. She will force me to eat and eat until I feel sick. If I don’t eat a lot she will pull the guilt trip and say “what’s the matter is my cooking not good?” that will force me to eat more and more. We usually end the night with rummy royal. This is a card game in which the players lay down one card at a time in ascending order starting with the lowest and matching the suit and going in numeric order, the players also go in clockwise direction. Thanksgiving is always a blast and I cannot wait for all the food this year.
