I had an awesome thanksgiving break! How was yours? Well I went back to New York for my break and spent it with my family. Its funny because, well my mom likes to decorate the house according to the holiday or season, and she likes to bring out decorations that me and my siblings might of made back when we were in Elementary school. A couple of the things she put out on display were little writings we wrote about, like thanksgiving and the pilgrims and Indians. There was a piece of literature that I wrote; it was about what I think thanksgiving is all about haha. I thought alot different back then; because then I thought it was just all about the good food, but now being away from home I see that its more about being with family and really giving thanks for your loved ones.
My break was eventful to say the least. Right off the bat, about a few hours after I arrived home on the plane, my dad got my jeep stuck in a ditch! I saw my whole family just about every night, which was awesome. My dad, my brothers and I went hunting a bunch of times. Its kind of become a tradition to go out in the woods thanksgiving morning, usually my uncle goes out too. If we don't get anything, at least it makes for a good/funny conversation around the dinner table that night. Later that night, a bunch of my extended family came over, which made things ten times louder. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My old high school basketball team was starting there season, so on the days I wasn't eating to much, I went and helped out my old coach with the guys. All and all break was good, but now its time to strap down and get ready for finals! I hope you all enjoyed your breaks just as much as I did!
