Happy Thanksgiving!

What are some of your favorite family traditions during Thanksgiving? What do you look forward to the most?

Thanksgiving is definitely one of my favorite holidays. For me, it’s #2 in my power rankings behind Christmas. Anyway, Thanksgiving is such a great holiday because of the traditional value it holds. Bringing family together and eating a ridiculously unnecessary meal is what it is all about. I particularly like Thanksgiving because of that reason. However, I do have some Wallace family traditions. On the morning of Thanksgiving, my neighborhood gets together and plays a big game of football called the “Turkey Bowl.” Me, my dad and two younger brothers have played since I can remember and will continue that this year. Sticking to the category of sports, each Thanksgiving night Ridley plays Interboro (our rival highschool) in ice hockey at a local rink. It’s typically the biggest game of the year and is always a packed house. I played in this game for the 4 years I was in high school, so I try to go to that every year to see how our team is doing. Moving on to the meal (what I look forward to the most), we always have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc. My favorite dish is probably either broccoli casserole or baked mac and cheese.
