Thanksgiving

This year is not what i expected for the holidays. It actually doesnt even feel like the holidays are coming up. Its still hot outside and feel as if its still summer, and where im from its cold during the holidays, and to me the weather seems to make the seasons come alive. Also for thanksgiving my family is breaking the tradition. Every year all the woman in the family get together in the kitchen and make all the food, and after the food is done the everyone sits around the table and before we eat, every person has to give a good reason to why they are thankful, this year we are made reservations to go out to dinner, something im not use to, and i must admit im a little disappointed by it. It just doesnt seem like the holidays anymore, or maybe im just growing out of the holiday spirit. Hopefully our tradition gets back like it was next year, and the weather goes the way it should, then i probably can get back into the spirit.

My Halloween

You can never get to old for the holiday activities. This Halloween i decided to dress up. I was a girl baseball player. Ithought since i had not dressed up om many years i could participate in it this year. i was taking my godaughter out trick-or-treating and i felt that if i dressed up she might have a little more excitement to dress up as well. She was a princess this halloween and we were both excited for the night to start. Just before we were going out to get some candy my aunt came over and asked us were we going to the Hallejuah festival at the church, and i told her no and gave a run through of out plans for that night. She was angry and told me that this holiday was the devils holiday , we argued for many hours about the plans, because i felt that everyone was not out to celebrate the devil it was a fun acivity for children to have fun, she she tried to prve her point by telling me thats why everyone dress up as devils and gobbling, and i gave her a perfect example of my point by showing her that all costumes arent possessed, like my goddaughter was a princess, and my friends daughter was an angel, and i was a baseball player and so on....Well our plans got cancelled and instead we ended up at the church but the night was still fun and we all enjoyed it together.
