IN our culture we don't watch or pay a lot of attention to what we eat and what we are doing to our body and the holiday of thanksgiving is the perfect example. The food we consumed was food that majority of us never has grown or seen before. Even though we never seen or grown these foods before we still cram the food in our mouths. Even the people who usual watch their figure and are very aware of what food they are eating were more layed back on this holiday. The motto was to eat till you cant eat no more.
Thanksgiving is the holiday of the “big feast.” Food was the center of attention but the food is what brought loved ones together and helped them share happy times with one another. Thanksgiving a time where we should be giving thanks for what we have. Even though we were suppose to be giving thanks something that was typical for us to do was for us to watch reality shows and sport events. While watching these events and shows majority of people wish they were in the situation that the people that are entertaining them are in.
This holiday was a sad and emotional holiday for many families. Majority of families have lost love ones who were there at he previous thanksgiving. I can explain from my own experience. The death of my greta grandmother played a big toll on my families’ thanksgiving. Since she was the matriarch she was truly missed and it was awkward not having her there. At the end of the day we still gave thanks for having her in our life at one point and gave thanks for the having everyone else in our family.
