I am a lover of food. That being said, Thanksgiving isn't one of my favorite holidays.
Partially because I don't particularly love the traditional Thanksgiving meal. At the dinner table you're most likely to find me with a plate of mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese, and dumplings. I'm just not partial to turkey.
I do, however, enjoy getting three days off from the madness that is school in November. One day to myself to relax and maybe be productive. One day of chaos and drama and food with the family. And then one day to recover from all of that. The much needed break is much appreciated.
To me, Thanksgiving signals the start of the Christmas season. My family tends to put up and decorate our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, and that's when the festive season really begins. Decorations, gift wrapping, baking, Christmas music. I love it all.
Thanksgiving is alright for being in a lazy carb coma, but to me it's just a beginning to my favorite time of year.
