Thanksgiving

Over the past few years, Thanksgiving has become one of my favorite holidays. It's the three fs that make it important: family, friends, and football. Even though football is awesome, and I love watching it on Thanksgiving, it's really family and friends that make the holiday so special. Having one day where there is nothing to worry about and where the sole purpose is giving thanks and being together with the people you love is truly beautiful. I don't think I used to like Thanksgiving much, but as I get older, and college approaches, I realize that days like Thanksgiving Day are few and far between. I look at my sister, who just came home today from college. She hasn't been home since August, and she's leaving the country for six months to study abroad in Dublin. For me, and for her, this is one of the only days in the near future where we will all be truly together as a family. Yes, she comes home for her Christmas break, but I've got school and my parents have got work for a portion of that, and the break itself isn't even two weeks. As Thanksgiving fast approaches, I can't wait to spend a carefree day with my family and eat some good food while doing so.
