Thanksgiving is one of the most celebrated holidays in America, regardless of race or religion. It is a time of sharing and expressing gratitude, and the celebration of overcoming previous hardships. Fortunately, students and teachers had a four day weekend to celebrate however and with whoever they want. This allowed for many differently planned celebrations to happen.
Most people spent the holidays with their extended family. Others, however, spent their holidays in other ways, such as hanging out with their friends. Still other people decided to just sit at home and watch a movie with the people closest to them. BSGE teachers echoed this variety, with Ms. Meisler celebrating with both her family and friends, Mr. Mehan sharing his moments with his friends and Ms. Nikkolos, spending her Thanksgiving with close friends watching movies, followed by visiting her daughter and grandson. Most families prepared special dishes, either in their own style or the traditional plain turkey with stuffing, with side dishes, appetizers, and desserts. The inclusion of this tradition makes most families’ thanksgiving feel like a gathering of family and friends where people can socialize. Some people, though, did not have a celebration on Thanksgiving, instead having one either before or after that Thursday due to the absence of family members.
However it was spent, all BSGE students had a well deserved break from all the hard work of past two and a half months. With this in mind, students can look forward to the holiday season to spend even more time with their families and friends. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
