Arguably, one of the best holidays is coming up in a couple of weeks. Yes, Thanksgiving. It has been brought to my attention this past week that some people are not a fan of the holiday’s food. To be honest I did not even know that was allowed. How does one simply dismiss Thanksgiving food as bad? One of my roommates claimed to not like Thanksgiving food and I was astonished. There is nothing better than a fall evening filled with turkey, ham, stuffing, corn, gravy, cranberry sauce, yams and so much more. Just typing that out has made me hungry, and I just ate lunch. Not to mention the desserts such as apple pie and pumpkin pie topped with vanilla ice cream. 

You simply cannot go wrong with Thanksgiving food, or so I thought. I understand people may have some dietary restrictions and or allergies, which is understandable. However, there should be no other excuse for not enjoying Thanksgiving food. Sure, everyone is entitled to their own opinion as am I. Although, in this one case I believe your opinion is wrong if you do not enjoy Thanksgiving food. If you do not like Thanksgiving food, you might be in dire need of a tastebud re-adjustment. That probably does not exist but it should be for this opinion. 

All kidding aside, Thanksgiving is not all about the food. I understand some may not enjoy it. Although, it is a great opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. It is a day to reflect on everything you have to be truly grateful for in your life. Life can get tough and as people we lose sight of everything we have to be grateful for. So spend this day enjoying the company of any loved ones whoever they may be and remember that there is more to be grateful for than we acknowledge sometimes.

While being grateful and enjoying time with loved ones, do not forget to fill up a plate of some delicious food. Make sure it contains a minimum of 3,000 calories too, to really enjoy it. For all of you who do not enjoy this holiday’s food I hope you still enjoy the time with people who make you happy. Happy early Thanksgiving everyone!
