subject: If Everyday should be Thanksgiving [print this page] There are a lot of different festivals celebrating different things in a year, among which my favorite is the Thanksgiving Day, for this is the day for family members to get-together.
On this day, my mother would wear the apron instead of the fashionable outfit and expensive Tiffany silver jewelry necklace, which she wears to work. And she would do the cooking herself and prepare something delicious for us to eat, special dishes full of motherly love. And my father would also drop his work on this special day and accompany us in the house, watching cartoons or football games.
When the dinner is ready, the turkey which is so delicious with the dressing is always my favorite. The atmosphere over the table is often pleasant, for everyone is happy eating, talking and laughing, which makes me feel so good having a family like this. After the rich meal, our family members will do some outdoor activities, and what a good time it is playing the baseball with my father and brothers. We shout, we yell and we run while my mother sits beside the court, smiling at us and cheer for us.
However, happy time just passes so fast, and not enjoying enough, the day is over. It has been more than once that I ask myself why everyday can't be a Thanksgiving so that my parents would stay home with us and have fun together. And there was a period of time when I cried every time I saw my mother put on that shining Tiffany silver jewelry necklace around her neck. Little as I was, I vaguely understood that it was just the sign of her leaving to work. I have also talked with my friends, whose mother are also working women and wear the Tiffany silver jewelry necklace, saying that they also thought it a sign of their mother's leaving to work. It seems that it has been a kind of fashion of working women to wear those fashionable jewelries so as to appear gorgeous.
It will be so good if everyday can be a Thanksgiving, for there is nothing in the world which can compare with the happiness when parents are aside. And if they are at home accompanying me, I wouldn't be so lonely in this big house, which often seems empty when I am alone. But I also know that my parents are working hard to create a better living environment for us. Sometimes, seeing them coming home tired and exhausted, I would feel ashamed of my complaining my loneliness all the time.
I know that it is impossible that everyday would be Thanksgiving, what I hope now is that the next Thanksgiving could come soon.
