My very first Thanksgiving was in the year 2001. I was eleven years old, and my family had just immigrated to America in July of that year. At the time, I didn’t really know what it was all about, but I remember looking forward to it because it became obvious that my relatives were going to prepare a feast to celebrate it. I’ve always liked eating, and I’ve always looked forward to birthdays, Christmas, and New Year’s largely for that reason as a young child. So from then on Thanksgiving became another event that I would anticipate each year.
