It is the right time to watch thanksgiving movies with all the members of the family along with the memories where there is a lot of joy. Although Thanksgiving is not as widely celebrated as Halloween or Christmas, it is still an important holiday.
Thanksgiving is a holiday to give thanks and appreciate each other, but also helps to value the time spent away from one another. It means fighting over the table, especially how it all starts with the cranberry sauce, and how old family feuds come back to the surface.
Nevertheless, there’s always the assurance that my family will watch a film in between slices of pie, irrespective of whether or not anything went right during the Thanksgiving dinner.
