weekend

I think I always write about my weekends… my week days I guess aren’t exciting enough to write about. Oh well, life goes on then you die anyways.  So anyways my weekend… yup you guessed it, it was another eventful one. Well I’m moving, I can say that in the open now. So on Saturday, my parents took my brother, my other brother, and I to the new house to look around again. We looked around and talked about what will have to be done to get it to where we want it to be, because there was a Jamaican family that lived there before. So we have to do a lot of changes on the house. For instance we have to paint. The paint job in the house is not even good. There were different colors in every room with stripes everywhere. It wouldn’t have been that bad if they made the stripes straight and there weren’t any drip marks everywhere. And since they were practically kicked out of the house they didn’t clean it or anything and they left random junk everywhere, but enough about the house. It was a fun day there. 
Then later on Saturday, we watched Lord of the Rings. I have never seen Lord of the Rings before. When I was younger my parents let my watch it. However, I got really scared when I watched it. So I hid my head a lot when I watched it. So when I watched it fully a lot of parts looked familiar. But it was still good. I got to watch all three movies on Saturday. It was a real good day that day. On the final movie my parents ordered pizza. It was my dad’s birthday so he got to pick what he wanted for dinner, and he picked pizza. We got the pizza from Pizza Hut. It was really, really, really, really yummy. My dad wanted the meat lovers, Hawaiian, and chicken pizzas. They all were really yummy. My favorite pizza would have to be the meat lovers. However, I didn’t like the sausage that was on the pizza. I am defiantly not a fan of sausage. I don’t like how it has a rubber texture. But I do not know. I mean I used to like sausage, but just not anymore. I do not like the texture about it. You know some foods you just can’t stand because of the texture. Well that is how it is for me with sausage.
I love weekends. They are always full of joy and happiness. Well… at least it is for me. I normally don’t have to do any homework buy this week I do. I hate when that happens. Oh I am babbling about. I guess I am just excited for Christmas. Christmas is in exactly one week. That makes me very happy. I may sound like a little kid. But at this time of year, that is exactly what I am. A little kid.

Thanksgiving


Since Thanksgiving is next week I thought I would talk about thanks giving. Thanksgiving is not one of my favorite holidays. As for the rest of my family they just love it. I don’t hate it or anything; I just don’t particularly like it. I think that it’s a waste of a day. You have to bake all day and then stuff yourself with as much food as you can. I don’t like a lot of traditional foods that you have at the dinner table on Thanksgiving. For example I don’t like stuffing or yams. I don’t like turkey which people think is weird. I am also not very fond of pies or desserts. I will eat them, but I just can’t have very much. I do however like what Thanksgiving stands for and symbolizes. I like how it remembers the pilgrims and their good harvest and how thankful they were for everything.
Here are some symbols of Thanksgiving.
1.     Cornucopia stands for the good harvest.
2.     Turkey is a reminder of the “Four Wild Turkeys” served during the first Thanksgiving feast.
3.     Corn is a reminder of the importance and heritage of the harvest festival.
4.     Cranberries with its pink blossoms and drooping head reminded the ancient pilgrims of a crane. 
5.     There is the pumpkin
There are so many more, I only gave you a small number of the many symbols of Thanksgiving. There is also a song that goes along with Thanksgiving.  Here it is.
Thanksgiving Day Turkey Song
O turkey dear
O turkey dear
How lovely are thy feathers

O turkey dear
O turkey dear
There could be nothing better!

We celebrate Thanksgiving Day
By putting your carcass on display.

O turkey dear
O turkey dear
You thought we were friends who came to greet you.

O turkey dear
O turkey dear
We gathered here to eat you!

O turkey day
O turkey day
The family is all together

O turkey day
O turkey day
We've over come bad weather

Seeing the family is so fab
We'll see ya'll again in rehab.

O turkey day
O turkey day
We'll drink away your memory.
I think my favorite line is “O turkey dear O turkey dear We gathered here to eat you!” Isn’t it just a comforting line for the turkey? A turkey probably heard this and was scared dead. He didn’t even get shot. Just when he heard this he was so scared that he died. Isn’t that just horrible?
There is so much on Thanksgiving. I only gave you a few things about this what some people call awesome holiday. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. :)
