As the winter season quickly approaches, so does the holiday season. There are many people planning to gather with their families to celebrate Thanksgiving this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to my grandparents\u2019 house in Marlette, Michigan,\u201d sophomore Kassie Strahl said. \u201cIt\u2019s a family tradition; we all gather there on Thanksgiving to watch the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade.\u201d<\/p>\n
While some people travel great lengths to see their loved ones, Strahl has the privilege of having family close by, in Michigan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes about two hours to drive there and we usually stay for the weekend through Sunday,\u201d Strahl said.<\/p>\n
Although Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade takes place in New York City, there is no reason that people can\u2019t enjoy it even from miles away.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all crowded in their small living room just trying to see the TV because there\u2019s at least 20 of us when the whole family gets together including my parents, my aunt, my cousins, my grandparents and my cousins\u2019 extended family,\u201d Strahl said.<\/p>\n
Getting together with family is what makes Thanksgiving so special.<\/p>\n
