Thanksgiving is pretty much a big deal for me and my family we actually have a family football game. We play every morning on thanksgiving and we play for about 2-3 hours. Its more of the body centered part of our culture. We usaully fight about who is the fastest, or who can throw the farthest, or who can cath the football the best. What people dont realize is that football is actually more anti body as it is body centered because to actually be good at your position you have to outsmart the quarterback or outsmart the wide reciever or the defender. For example the defender tries to get an interception by reading the eyes of the quarterback and sees where the quarterback wants to throw and then they react to it.
The man in my family actually watch football before, during, and after the dinner while the woman in my family talk about what is going on in their lives. Its always been like that and nothing really changed ever since I've been born. What effected my thanksgiving is that my grandfather wasnt their because he died 3 years ago and that actually effected our thanksgiving because my grandma came to my house without him for the 3rd staright year. Thanksgiving is a holiday that we come together and dealing with death on a day that our family comes together isnt really fun to deal with. Also my dad got rotator cuff surery so he needs help doing things and needed help getting food becuase he strrugles to move his arm in certain ways and if he is touched on his shoulder in a certain way
After eating the food everyone was satisfied and enjoyed the food. Everyone actually looked a lot tired and they looked like they wanted to rest after they ate. My mom cooking was a big deal becuase when ever thanksgiving roles around she needs the house to be cleared and needs everyone to say in one spot becuase she doesnt like people moving around in our kitchen becuase she takes cooking the food very seriously. taht is the body centered part of our culture.
