Ode To Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day has been a family tradition for years. The holiday's been around since the 1600s when the Mayflower landed in a Pennsylvania town called Plymouth. Thanksgiving Day is also about giving thanks for having good friends, spending quality time with families, and a lot of football, especially when they're watching the Dallas Cowboys play against another NFL football team. What's the favorite part when it comes to Thanksgiving Day is when a lot of families and friends gather around for dinner and stuff. What's also our favorite part of Thanksgiving most of all is the food, especially the turkey and the stuffing. And let's not forget the cranberry sauce and the casseroles. Talking about Thanksgiving food makes a person. But the important thing about Thanksgiving Day is when everybody's gathered around for the reading of the Holy Bible: the King James version. And if it weren't for Thanksgiving Day and had the Pilgrims not found Plymouth, Pennsylvania, there wouldn't be a Thanksgiving Day and traditional football games. Let's hope we don't consume too much food.
