We are all familiar with the famous traditions like leaving cookies out for Santa or decorating Easter eggs. But what are some famous Thanksgiving traditions? I interviewed some students here at GJ about their favorite traditions on Thanksgiving.
Starting off with a ninth grader at GJ and on the soccer team, Emma Morrison usually likes to wake up in the morning on thanksgiving and have some cinnamon rolls she baked with her parents. She then enjoys the day and awaits until all her family arrives and they share a nice family dinner.
A sophomore at GJ, named Channing Morales, likes to do a lot of baking. She likes to cook things with her grandma such as a turkey and ham and an assortment of casseroles.
Makayla, a senior at GJ, likes to start the day off with watching the Macy’s day parade and prepare dinner. She says that if she has any extra time, she will toss the football around with her family.
Some of my favorite traditionsare watching the Macy’s day parade as well, while my cousins and I bake a different dish for dinner with our grandma. Then, we end the day off with saying what we’re thankful for.
Another member of the newsletter, Kiana Imperial, likes to spend most of the day spending time with family and eating delicious food. Another sophomore at GJ, EK as we call her, likes to spend the day just spending time with cousins. She usually has a mix of foods to satisfy all tongues, such as her and her cousins’ as they all gather on Thanksgiving
Another freshman at GJ, Avery Best, likes to spend most the day with family as they all sit on the couch and watch all the football games. She then eats her Thanksgiving dinner with her family as well.
Well, I hope you all are enjoying the holidays, but here’s some ideas to celebrate in case you are feeling out of the holiday spirit.
