What are your Thanksgiving plans?

One fall tradition my family has is putting up Halloween decorations together. My mother loves putting up decorations for the holidays, and Halloween is no exception. Once October rolls around, all the Halloween decorations get paraded out from the garage and set up. Colored lights get hung up outside the house, a giant Jack o’ lantern inflatable gets put where the outdoor table sits, and window clings adorn every window and glass door. Not too low, though, because of the dog. It’s not always a full family activity, but usually at least my mother and I set up the decorations. There are decorations that usually get set up on Halloween as well, like the cat eyes that are projected onto the garage doors, or the fog machine we set up. We also often play music while sitting outside during the night, while the children trick or treat.

We don’t have any traditions that I’m aware of. But for Thanksgiving, my family and I usually watch the parade in the morning as we eat breakfast. We’ll play card games and watch football throughout the day before we eat an early dinner made up of all kinds of different foods. This Thanksgiving, I’m going to visit my grandparents on Sunday with the rest of my family and my girlfriend to eat an early Thanksgiving dinner. In the meantime, we’ll probably be watching football, playing card games, and possibly playing games on the old Wii before the food is ready. We’ll most likely be eating the standard Thanksgiving dinner comprised of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pie. And to contribute to the feast, I’m going to make muffins. After Thanksgiving, I’ll be eating the leftovers until there are none left. And afterwards, my family and I will probably start preparing for Christmas. Decorating, making plans, buying gifts, and deciding what we’ll be eating for Christmas dinner, as well.

My family doesn't have many fall traditions. We usually are busy up through Thanksgiving but we still do stuff like playings games around the holidays and just cook meals for Thanksgiving. I usually do some performances in the fall like at the Arizona State Fair and used to perform at Glendale Glitters. And we also dress my dog up for Halloween and Thanksgiving every single year.

I can’t wait for fall. Fall has always been one of my favorite times of the year, and it’s because it’s not too cold and not too hot to walk around and be outside. Arizona is so hot that walking around during spring or summer means that your always sweating, but when fall rolls around it has a nice breeze outside and walking around outside is more calming and not as hot as it is during summer or spring, so I can enjoy being outside more. What is even more fun is when fall is around me and my family will start decorating for the holidays that are just around the corner. We will all go outside and decorate for Halloween and I love Halloween so when we decorate it is a lot of fun cause I get to get in the Halloween spirit.

This spring break I will be spending a lot of time with my family and friends. All that I will be doing is spending time with my family and home and doing nothing. I don’t think that I will be spending a lot of time with friends. Things that I like to do for fun with my family include doing nothing, sleeping, and eating. In spring break, I especially love the weather and how it is not to hot or cold. This type of weather is perfect for going on walks and going on runs. I will be going on runs every day and even try and go to the gym too. I will also start eating better and start a cleanse. My sister is coming to visit and she’s my babies and I am so happy and excited This spring break will be so fun and I am looking forward to it.
