Thanksgiving 2011

My aunt and I on Thanksgiving

Every Thanksgiving, it is tradition for my family to go to Florida.  My family and I spend the holiday with my grandparents who live in Orlando.  It is great getting away from the cold weather of Bethlehem, PA.   At my grandparent's house,  we eat a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner.  My Indian family is not accustomed to the "bland" taste of turkey, and all throughout the dinner, it is funny to see my grandparents complaining.  Eventually, we end up substituting the turkey stuffing for hot sauce.

After dinner, my large family goes Black Friday shopping.  First we start at the outlets and eventually go out to eat at a local breakfast.  Black Friday shopping is my favorite part of the trip.  I love the Christmas music, and all the people rushing around at 2 AM in the morning.  It is so exciting.
