It is a countdown to thanksgiving, and I always get excited. Thanksgiving means one step closer to Christmas! Thanksgiving is always fun too. We have a running tradition in my family. In the morning, we all gather in the kitchen to get our cooking assignments. Everyone chips in and does their part to make a beautiful meal. I always do sweet potatoes and ,occasionally, homemade cranberry sauce as well. It's a time for us to sit together and enjoy each other's company.
One thing that I am extremely thankful for is that my great grandmother will be spending yet another holiday with us. My great grandma is 94 years young and amazes me on a regular basis. She has seen so much in her life and has great stories to share. I think I am especially thankful to have her with us this year because recently she was not doing so well. When "close calls" come around, they always seem to be a blessing in disguise. It really makes you prioritize and remember what is truly important in life!

It sounds like you are very close to your family,especially your great grandmother.I think some people get so wrapped with things in life they forgot those who are important. Having a close relationship with your family makes you grateful for the things you have.Christmas must be your favorite holiday, mine too. I love to see my kids eyes when they open their gifts.
Your family sounds really close with each other I like how everyone in your family cooks together. Your grandma sounds like she would have some awsome stories. My grandmas both have passed away but I still have some great memories that will live on forever.Like feeding the ducks by the water, dancing, and playing with grandamas make-up when I was younger.I also like Christmas too because it is another time where the family gets to spend time together.
