I LOVE Thanksgiving. And if anyone says they don't like it, I get really confused. Do you hate happiness as well? What is there not to like about this glorious American holiday?
1) You get to feast on some of the most delicious dishes known to man. (Mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, fresh cranberry sauce, rolls, homemade strawberry jam, stuffing--I can't even continue, due to all the drooling.)
2) Pie is the star on the dessert menu. This should be the case at every meal.
3) Families have an excuse to travel great distances to see each other.
4) Football is in the air, on the TV, and in the backyard.
5) I am given another excuse to just ponder, reflect on, and verbally express how amazing my life is, and how incredibly blessed I am on a daily basis.
Thanksgiving is a win-win-win situation, and I cannot wait for this week's winning festivities. As a tribute, I have posted two low-quality videos of my family playing a soft game of football on Thanksgiving, three years ago. Nothing too spectacular here, but boy do they make me laugh. Happy Thanksgiving!
My favorite parts: "FUMBLE! FUMBLE!" and "Run! Run, Harrison, Run! Run Harrison!...oh, he's crying."
Those videos maybe made me cry a little. I love, love, love the Mechams, especially on Thanksgiving!
