What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving and why?
My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is being together with family and friends and also sometimes having family from all over the state come as well. Just getting together and having a great time.
Does your family have any type of Thanksgiving traditions?
My family does not really have any Thanksgiving traditions. The only thing we do is sometimes we go over to other cousins’ or friends places to eat and sometimes we just stay home.
If you had to eat one Thanksgiving food item for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
This one is hard to decide! I mean, having protein is always good, like turkey, but then I think I would, and do, get sick of eating it over time. So, I would have to say mashed potatoes. They’re nice and soft, sometimes they can be buttered and they’re just an easy food to make.

What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving and why?
My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is definitely the family time. It’s nice just being able to see them, spend time with them and enjoy a day with them.
Does your family have any type of Thanksgiving traditions?
I don’t know. We don’t really have any traditions. We used to always go to my grandma’s but now it’s getting to hard on her, so now we just go to my house, but nothing really over the top or spectacular.
If you had to eat one Thanksgiving food item for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
I would have to agree and say mashed potatoes as well because I don’t like turkey!

Mashed potatoes, because I absolutely love mashed potatoes!
