It's that time of year again! Everyone has begun yelling at each other on when their Christmas trees go up! (The day after Thanksgiving, obviously)

Thanksgiving day is upon us once again! With that comes feasts, games, annoying relatives, the whole shabang! Let's talk about some fun thanksgiving traditions, shall we?

In my household, we actually begin our traditions the day before turkey day. As we host the feast, my mother spends the day baking all sorts of wonderful pastries, you know em': pumpkin pie, apple pie, brownies, cookies, all of the above! Because of this, we really don't feel like cooking a full meal after all that baking, so what do we do? Well, we go to Olive Garden, of course! Because nothing screams festive autumn like salty Italian food.

Moving swiftly on, we typically start our turkey day with some pumpkin & banana bread and cream cheese. Guys, if you've never had cream cheese on banana bread, you are seriously missing out on one of the greatest joys in life.

Do you remember Charlie Brown (not the 2015 movie, we don't talk about that one)? Well, if you do, then you'll love our next family staple! Around noon, we have a hearty lunch of popcorn, pretzel sticks, jelly beans, and toast! It is also around this time our first guests arrive, and this is when the chaos ensues. Just, y'know that scene from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation when all the relatives arrive and it's just full unembroidered chaos? Well... that, I know its meant for Christmas but it gets my point across!

Anyway, after that, we all sit down and eat, we all say what we're thankful for, blah blah blarmagoden, usual family shenanigans here.

Welp, thats Thanksgiving for you! This is a shorter post, but I wanted to get something out before December. I wish you all the merriest of thanksgivings!
