Thanksgiving (New)

I think that my Thanksgiving was meaningful, because I spent time with family members. I don't get to see my family much so it is a time for everyone to spend time together and catch up. I think part of the reason everyone is happy is because there is all this food and you can't be mad when there is a lot of good food in front of you and your with your family. Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what you have and your family. At my thanksgiving dinner I did not bring up genocide as a topic, because everyone was happy and I did not want to ruin everyones day. I think that most people in my family know what really happen on thanksgiving day but no one wants to think about the bad stuff that has happened. This shows that in our culture the truth is not always what people want to hear. I myself prefer to hear the harsh truth rather than live a lie. Many people like to believe that everything is good when its not just so that they feel good. Thanksgiving should remind people to be thankful for all the small things that make their lives meaningful and worst living instead of thinking what they want to buy next like every other day of their lives.
