Thanksgiving Day

I love hanging around family and friends on Thanksgiving Day. And the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade on the tv. The amazing aromas of the food just fill the air. The table is sat, The golden Turkey, stuffing, gravy, Ham, Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens, Dinner rolls, Cranberry sauce, Cakes, Sweet Potato Pies and assorted drinks. Then we say grace, and go around the table and say what we are thankful for. But due to the pandemic of COVID-19 Thanksgiving isn’t going to be the same this year. It's almost like the special day is canceled. The government officials are suggesting that if isn't necessary, don't travel on an airplane. There has been a surge in new Covid 19 cases. Families all over the world are missing their families, and tremendously. This year has been filled with a lot of heartache and pain. We must celebrate Thanksgiving differently this year. Some are having zoom potlucks, creating new ways to celebrate. Although this year has been very bleak, there is still much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving from me to you. Alexis Y. 11/25/2020
