What Are Your Thanksgiving Traditions?

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

What did you eat for Thanksgiving? I spent the days before Thanksgiving researching a bunch of different recipes on my iPhone through some recipe apps that I have. To tell you the truth, these recipe apps are so handy, especially since you can make a list on your iPhone of all that you will need at the grocery store so that you don’t forget anything. And shopping at the grocery store before Thanksgiving is absolutely no joke! People will run you down with their carts for the last can of cranberry sauce if they have to.

There are so many different foods that are traditional to Thanksgiving, but there are also some not so nice choices. I have heard of spam stuffing, which sounds completely unappetizing. There are also infamous Jell-O molds celebrated by different families, which to me, sounds disgusting. Many people are offended by cranberry sauce directly out of the can, but I like to see that it has little rings on it from being in the can for so long! Everyone has a different version of their traditions on Thanksgiving, but it is important to continue to celebrate what is true to you and your family for the holiday season.

Fall is Upon Us

tony-romo-dallas-cowboysI absolutely love the fall season for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is, of course, football. I am an avid football fan, and I have spent a serious amount of time looking up the Cowboys football schedule on my iPhone. This is the biggest benefit of having the iPhone as a football fan because you can obsessively check out football information, no matter where you may be. This is not something that my wife is too pleased about, but she’s used to it by now. Often times, when we are out to dinner, I will be looking up scores or the times of the football games in the week.

Anyhow, football is one of the great bonuses to fall in general, and I always look forward to the fall season beginning specifically for this reason. Don’t get me wrong, I also love the leaves changing, cooler weather, and Thanksgiving, but all of those things basically spell out football for me. My whole family is full of football fans, so I guess that is where I got it from. I just love being able to sit back and relax on the weekends, eat some great food, and watch a Cowboys game!
