=== My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. I love the richness and excitement of the fall season when the leaves change color and the air turns chilly. I also love the stark outlines of the trees and the beautiful sunsets of November. I appreciate the holiday itself for several reasons. As I get older, I appreciate the simplicity of families coming together to be thankful for their many blessings. There is no worry about what gifts to give or clothing to wear. === === Thanks giving is a time to remember family members. My grandparents always made Thanksgiving a very special time -- the table needed to look special with the plates that have been used for many years and there is always a cornucopia. === === I also love the food itself. In my family, Thanksgiving is not complete without a traditional bread stuffing and there is always [|Indian pudding.] ===
