Thanksgiving Day
We TAKE / KNOW / MAKE / JUDGE Thanksgiving for granted as a day to watch football, spend time with our families, or eat, but 150 years ago, it wasn’t even a national holiday. For the settlers, that meal was at first thought of as a one-time thing. They had no idea this event would become the TOMBSTONE / HEADSTONE / CORNERSTONE / FLAGSTONE of the Thanksgiving customs we now share throughout the United States and Canada.
However, that first celebration didn’t RECALL / RESEMBLE / REMIND / REMEMBER our modern traditions much. The meat served was likely goose or duck. And there was probably a bit of fish there, too. There were no potatoes, no pie, no stuffing, and no cranberries. Nowadays Thanksgiving dinner is a meal custom-made for overeating. So it helps to GIVE / HOLD / PAY / TURN attention and to have some thoughtful strategies to avoid that uncomfortable feeling of being stuffed.
Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays where most of my family all get together to celebrate. In the first week of November the family decides whose house we will have Thanksgiving dinner at. It usually ends AT / OFF / OUT / UP being my sisters’ house because it is the biggest, and most convenient.
We ARRANGE / DO / LAY / SET up a table for the children and the adults can choose to eat at a different table, or in the living room with the game on. During the day, while turkey is being cooked, the adults watch a football game, or just hang out and chat. The children are free to go outside if the weather is good, or play inside with their toys.
We usually arrange the food in a buffet style. The children are served first and when they are all set at their table, the adults dig in. While we are eating, there is a lot of talking, and catching up. Then we start to clean up and make up some plates to each take home, and look AT / FOR / FORWARD / UP to Christmas.
