A
Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day, and mine is no different．Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal．She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies．I’m sorry to say that the men in the family – my dad, my younger brother and myself – rarely pitch in to help．Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over．
Around 2 pm every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table．Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it．At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling （流口水） all over our fancy clothes, but it’s not yet time to eat．
