In my house, Thanksgiving is one of our most stressful holidays. We wake up to a house of yelling, cooking, and other hectic antics. The household consists of me, my mother, father, two younger brothers, Grammy, Papa, and my aunt Paige. We all love eachother of course, but... During the cooking process we all feel a little differently. The food always takes forever to cook, everyone nags at one another, and someone will always get into some argument about what was cooked or how long it is taking. It never fails! However, last thanksgiving, things were a little different.
Last thanksgiving, Mom declared that we would not have to worry about the stress of making a turkey for thanksgiving. We all were very surprised to hear that the main course would be steak! It sounds rather odd, but somehow it was the best idea we could've come up with. Dad grilled steaks and shrimp that we wrapped in bacon, Mom baked potatoes and covered them in bacon and cheese, Grammy made green beans wrapped in bacon, and I helped with other sides. Almost everything was covered in bacon and cheese. It was extremely untraditional but I fell in love with the idea. We came to call it the Bacon and Cheese Thanksgiving. We are actually considering doing it again this year because not only was the food was delicious, but it caused a lot less fighting because it was easy to cook.
After eating, we all layed down for the day and relaxed. Football, naps, and family all day pretty much. Later on that night we went Black Friday shopping all night. It was probably my favorite thanksgiving so far!
