How were your days in long weekend, I can imagine that Scott was having a nice turkey meal with his family. I am sure that anyone of you had a wonderful day with your family and enjoyed a big feast. You must also do some your favourite sports; or immerse yourself in video games; or make yourself a coach potato and be happy with a fantastic TV show; or drive to a beautiful park with your friends and have a great barbeque; or go shopping with your girl friend and had a sweet time; or do some other interesting and romantic things which I can’t imagine. But don’t tell me that you spent days in doing your homework, because the annual Thanks Giving Day will pass meaninglessly. I had a special holiday, for I didn’t spend holiday with anyone except myself. One of my uncles drove my mother and father to his house, and they told me to come to his house by bus after I finished shopping. So I followed their direction and went by c-train. I got down at Lions Park and started waiting my bus. However the bus never came. A man sat beside me checked the timetable of my bus by telephone and told me that there was no bus on that day. I went insane as soon as I heard what he said. A train to downtown had just departed. I quickly made a big decision that I would go back home on foot, for I didn’t want to shiver in cold weather waiting any more. I went along one broad street, but I still felt cold. Why didn’t I take this chance to have an exercise and warm myself up as well? When I considered this I started jogging home. An hour later, I finally arrived home when telephone rang. My mother inquired me for not coming and said that many Chinese families gathered there were enjoying wonderful dinner. I told her that I would make myself a big feast. I baked three big pieces of unleavened pancakes, cooked two courses of dishes, and stewed a pork leg. Two hours later, all things were well done. I opened the lid of cooking pot. The pork leg was so sweet-smelling and appetizing. My empty stomach deserved to be filled up with something good while others were enjoying their delicious meals in holiday. I swallowed up a quarter of the pork leg and a dish of vegetables. With my extended ball stomach, I lay down on my bed with a satisfactory sigh and took a good nap until my parents came back and woke me up.

I'm glad you took the opportunity and made yourself a nice meal. I agree that Thanksgiving is a holiday and we should spend it relaxing. =)

I'm glad you got to stuff yourself as well as the rest of us. If it had been me that had missed a turkey dinner, I would have been lazy and went to McDonalds or someplace equally disgusting! I went to my Mom's(who also lives in Calgary) and we had a terrific supper along with some wine. I had a headache the next day at school, but I should have known what too much wine will do to me!
