Thanksgiving is about being thankful for all the good things in life and being grateful for them. My family gets together on Thanksgiving and we eat a family dinner. We eat things like turkey, chicken, ham, mashed potatoes, biscuits, etc. The main dish every year is either chicken or turkey. Some traditions my family do are watch movies and spend time together. Another tradition is taking a vacation somewhere for a week or so. Also we watch a lot of sports. Like football and basketball, we also send out cards to family members to show how we are grateful for them. A Thanksgiving dinner should be a tradition for every family who celebrates this holiday. Another tradition is playing football in the backyard.
