“I smiled and nodded my head. Contrary to all common sense, I found myself looking forward to the next forty-eight hours with my family more than I had in the four years since I’d left home. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday, and this year I was set to enjoy it more than ever” (86).
I would have to agree with her when she say’s Thanksgiving is her favorite holiday because it is mine too. I like thanksgiving because I get to see my cousins and aunt and uncle only once a year and this is it. My cousins and I are really close so we get along really well so we love spending time with each other. We go to my grandparent’s house where my grandpa built this house just so all of us grandkids could fit because my aunt and uncle have ten kids. We have traditions like Andrea and her family does. We always go down there the Wednesday before and come back Sunday. My grandma makes the best food ever and after the meal we all go around the table and say what we are thankful for. I think it’s funny that she is looking forward to the time with her family although she normally doesn’t like spending time with them. I am the same way because when Thanksgiving rolls around I like to spend time with my family, well not exactly my immediate family. I do love them, they are just crazy and annoying and it’s normally like that for most families so I believe that is why she said “contrary to all common sense, I found myself looking forward to the next forty-eight hours with my family….”
