Thanksgiving

Today, in the United States at least, is Thanksgiving. This, of course, means that I should be spending time with my family, but right now all of the adults are talking and the older kids are watching football. Neither of these things interest me, so soon my sister and I are going to watch Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Thanksgiving Turkey Anywho, today’s food was good. I do not really look forward to Thanksgiving food, but it is good food. I feel bad for my Korean friends who cannot be with their families for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They do not even get gifts for Christmas. I will have to get them all something.

My family does not have any big traditions for Thanksgiving, just getting together and eating. We switch off and on each year: one we go for Thanksgiving, the other for Christmas. I think that is the closest to a tradition we have. I do not enjoy getting together with my family much, because if we go to my mom’s parent’s house, then everyone there is a hick, and my family is the complete opposite of that. They do not even have internet, but thankfully my dad bought wireless cards for the laptops. Before now, we just had to read or do things like that. If we go to my dad’s brother’s house, then everyone there is obsessed with sports, and I hate sports. And anywhere we go, everyone thinks that they have to entertain me. They obviously do not know me. I can entertain myself plenty.

Oh well. At least we leave tomorrow morning.
