My Blog about Thanksgiving


This Thanksgiving was the best Thanksgiving ever! I had two dinners: one on Thanksgiving Day, and the other on the day after Thanksgiving. I had the first one with Sierra and Dad and other people, even Aunt Lou at her house. For my dinner, I had tiny pieces of turkey, mashed potatoes, biscuit roll, green bean casserole, stuffing, pork steak, and corn. I have a Thanksgiving prayer I say every year on Thanksgiving when we say grace. I said it before eating. It goes like this: "In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian Chief Massasoit who brought 90 of his brave Indians, and a great abundance of food. Elder William Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this: We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in the new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice. Amen." Everybody thought that it was great! A while before we left, Aunt Lou had something in her left hand. When I guessed that hand, she showed me a wishbone! Dad said I had to let it dry for a few days before me and him break it in half. Sometimes, when you dig into a real turkey/chicken with a knife, you find a wishbone! November 28 was the Thanksgiving I saw the second wishbone in my entire life! It was put in a plastic baggie to dry. The next day, Mom took me and Sierra to Aunt Linda's for the second dinner. All I had was just a little pizza pie Aunt Linda made for me. Trust me, it was DELICIOUS! It was also delectable and scrumptious! It was hot and crispy and gooey and cheesy and dotted with six little pepperoni dots, and they made the pizza more yummy and tasty! I even had a can of soda about an hour later. The dinner at Aunt Linda's was an "After Thanksgiving" dinner. Uncle Larry put out a huge real turkey/chicken with bones in it for you to eat, and its skin on its inside and outside was like meat for you to eat also! I've never seen those turkeys before. I love Thanksgiving because it's my favorite holiday for Thanksgivings our families will always remember!

  1. I love the "delicious words" you use when you write, Jacob. Sounds like a lot of
    delicious food, too! So did you get to make a wish? What was your wish?
