When I was younger I remember sleeping at my Great-Grandmothers house, waking up to the smells of the Turkey in the oven. My Gram always slow-roasted our traditional bird.
Whenever I woke up it was Time to start waking up the kids and prepping for church. I never understood why we had a thanksgiving service in the baptist denomination, but hey it was awesome.
I remember one year me and my brothers decided to sing for the family! It was epic. I remember the board games, watching football, Playing in the snow, running to the store last minute, tables, distant cousins, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Sound Of Music, Cirque Du Solei, more tables, chairs, the fine china, 1 two-story home with 40 people, and The FOOD!
We had just about everything you could imagine a black soul food thanksgiving having!
