Thanksgiving: Personal Entry

 Over Thanksgiving, I had a chance to see a lot of my family. It is always nice after lots of stress and problems to relax with family and enjoy good food. It was a good time to unwind from college and refocus my mind on what was ahead. Every thanksgiving we have traditions as a family that are not broken and those traditions always bring comfort to me when I partake in them. I think it is important to have these traditions as families as it helps the family stay connected and gives a sense of pride to be a part of that family. Although traditions are rarely completely unique, they all hold a unique meaning with unique memories for the families that partake in them. It is less about the tradition itself, and more about what that tradition gives to the family.
