Do You or Your Family Make Any Special Dishes for the Holidays?

My mom loves to cook and makes enough food to feed an army. I used to bring a salad on occasion, but there is always too much food. We have all the usual fixings for an American Thanksgiving. Turkey, ham, stuffing and cranberry sauce. We usually also have candied yams, and some kind of fruit salad and a pea salad.

Usually we also have deviled eggs and celery sticks with cheese filling. Olives, and biscuits. Of course a thick gravy with mashed potatoes. Sometimes roasted asparagus or brussels sprouts. Sparkling cider to drink as well and an apple pie, possibly a pumpkin pie.

Basically a pretty normal fare, nothing too different or unusual. But what I like most about Thanksgiving is spending the quality time with my family and joining together around the table. It is like Christmas without all the stuff and expectations. In a lot of ways, I prefer it. I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow, whether you celebrate or not, just good vibes all around.
