Happy Thanksgiving!

I know that this is late (by five days), but still...

On Wednesday, for around four hours straight, I did dishes, put dishes away, made the vegetable tray, deviled eggs (for my first time) and got everything ready (pots, spoons, tray, et cetera.) for Thursday instead of my mom having to worry about everything when she got home from work.

It was a good Thanksgiving. To a certain extent. I woke up in time to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Instead of being able to watch the entire parade, I shut it off because the T.V. was screwing up (we have stupid digital). While I had it off, I put in a Christmas Trans-Siberian Orchestra CD. I checked mom's apple pie after it was done. After that, I got on the computer, listened to music, and played Solitaire while my parents watched the parade (they turned it back on).

My sister came home for Thanksgiving and our neighbor, Char, did, too. For it being my first time making deviled eggs, it was not bad. Mom said that I probably should have added a little bit more mayonnaise, but still, for my first time, it was not bad. Dad told mom that she told me to guess, and I guessed.

For the rest of the night, I stayed on the computer. Even when my family and Char were watching a Christmas movie, I was still on the computer. I did not get off until about eight or nine o’clock that night. When I heard what Char’s son (who is in California right now), Chris, was going to be eating for Thanksgiving, I was amazed in a way. I could not believe that I heard that he was going to be eating tacos for Thanksgiving dinner. That is not a Thanksgiving dinner.

A Thanksgiving dinner, in my opinion, consists of turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, rolls, butter, dumplings, deviled eggs, (a new tradition that was added) vegetable tray, cranberry sauce, and pie! Yes, I do eat all of these things. But I do not eat cranberry sauce and pie. So I guess that I do not eat all of them. Okay, so I eat most of the foods that I mentioned.

But it was so good. I went back for a second plate. Although, I did not put a lot of everything on my plate, but I did have everything. Throughout the night, I finished eating the rest of the rolls and the deviled eggs.

It was good to have my sister back home for a holiday, even though this was the first holiday she has been out of the house because she moved out. I think she might come home for Christmas dinner on Christmas, but I do not know. My sister moved out about a month ago, just down the street from us. So, it was good to have her over for Thanksgiving. I am wondering if she will come home for Christmas...
