Thanksgiving Traditions

My entire life, my family has been anything but traditional. This is the same when it comes to any holiday.

When it comes to Thanksgiving, we do not have a traditional day like most people. Most of my extended family lives all the way across the country, so it is usually just my two brothers, my mom, and myself. Although we are a small family, I am thankful for them nonetheless.

My day usually starts with catching up on some sleep.

When I wake up, we usually make breakfast to eat together.

Then, I always make sure to catch the national dog show. It is easily my favorite part of every Thanksgiving day.

After that, I spend the rest of the time until dinner watching sports on the couch in my pajamas, sometimes with wine.

Then, whenever my mom finishes up the dinner, we sit down together to enjoy it.

After dinner, we sit around and talk for awhile.

That just about sums up every “tradition” my family has. I am incredibly thankful for my loving, unconventional family, and the relaxing day we spend together each year.
