Thanksgiving is really underrated, most of the United States goes from Halloween to Christmas automatically. The only part of Thanksgiving that actually means something to people is the food, however that's not what this holiday is about. Thanksgiving is a way to give thanks back to th community, family, friends, etc. On this day you acknowledge what you are thankful for, which is what I'm going to do.
The first thing I am grateful for is having a family and being able to find comfort and safety in them. Many people are either distant from their relatives or just don't have any, which is why I feel privileged to be so close to mine. Another thing I am grateful for is being able to go to school and earn an education. Sadly in some countries girls aren't allowed to receive an education, they're told the purpose they have is to clean, cook, and bear children. Lastly, I am grateful for having enough food and supploes in order to survive, that's something we take for granted.
Overall, Thanksgiving is special. It is a day where family gets together and feasts on food. We get to sit at the dinner table and reminisce on shared memories, talk, hug, and overall just enjoy each other's company. It is way to underrated, but it one of the best holidays.
