This is not my first time to be away from home for different American Holidays.  Thanksgiving is a big holiday in my family. Everyone in my family gets together and we each bring a dish to share with the others in the family.

We will spend time watching movies, or football. Then we will will eat. We will eat until we feel like we will explode.

Then, when we are done eating some people will take a nap. Some people will go outside and play, some will watch movies together.

This year, I will miss my Mothers Cooking the most. My Mother is an excellent cook, and she really shines at thanksgiving. I will also miss my brothers jokes and hearing about what is going on with the rest of my family. I think I will try to call them on that day so that I can find out what is happening.

Can you remember a time when you were away from home on an important day?
