America's Thanksgiving Parade

As the holiday season is coming nearer each day, I found it appropriate to look further into the traditional Thanksgiving topic. I can only describe what my family does, my Puerto Rican and Caucasian family. As far as I can say, we are not necessarily traditional with our celebration of Thanksgiving. So I figured why not use this assignment as a way to further look into the holiday and how it is celebrated across America, this can mean anything from families celebrating it in their homes, to the

I’ve not been writing or really doing as much of anything as much as I should, but considering that today’s Thanksgiving I feel that I should write at least something. For a lot of Americans, probably most now that I think of it, today is really just a day where we eat a bunch of Turkey and watch Football, maybe watch some of the Thanksgiving day parade as well. For The more liberal Americans, today is usually a controversial day as the history it unfortunately delves a lot into racial politics and

brighten our homes, to the water that we use to cook and or wash with. Luckily before I did the 24 hours of no technology I took a shower so I didn’t have to worry about for Thanksgiving. I would probably like to this 24 hour thing again some time in the future because I felt like it was a little too easy. Since it was Thanksgiving it was easier not to use my phone since the whole point of the holiday is to give thanks to people close to you etc, etc. And having a phone in your face defeats the whole

However, it is something distinctive about preparing and eating soul food on Thanksgiving Day. Soul food is considered to be fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, breaded fried okra and yams. The preparation and consumption of soul food have been a staple in my family’s tradition for many generations. Perchance the food tastes better because of the cool crisp air, or maybe it’s the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. I honestly don’t know why, but I feel like this should be a paten scientific

Thursday is pill day. “Ah Ru, today is Thursday right?” My grandmother asked me for the second time that day, counting her pills. I check the calendar. It’s Wednesday. Not a strange mistake. When I was 14, my grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. My grandma cannot remember the day of the week, what she had for lunch, or even what time of day it is. But she always remembers Chinese New Year. Her fingers remember the sticky residue of making joss paper to support her family, her stomach

not for me but that's a personal problem.  But that's the main focus of Thanksgiving! People just call is Turkey Day, sometimes! So, there's one holiday food, OUT! Next in line, we have stuffing. Mmm don’t you just love good old fashioned wet bread to fill your genetically modified turkey's carcass? Ew! What? Why is that a thing? I don't need to argue this further, I think you get it. The only other key player in the Thanksgiving meal that comes to mind is pumpkin pie. Pumpkin spice is a fan favorite

NORTH POLE -- On November 3rd, Macy’s officially rung in the holiday season with its 10th annual Believe campaign, benefiting Make-A-Wish.

According to TMZ.com, there is no evidence of them being legally married in LA County. The couple had met on the sets of Tropic Thunder in 2008 and began dating in 2011.

Title: Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert broke their post-divorce silence with a tweet about a shared interest There’s a lot of that can be said about a post-divorce conversation over Twitter, especially when the couple are two celebrities and they are speaking publicly for the first time. Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton divorced in 2015 and for a while there was no public chatter between the former country stars. Then on July 20, the couple broke their silence with a very quick Twitter conversation
