families, or eat, but 150 years ago, it wasn’t even a national holiday. For the settlers, that meal was
at first thought of as a onetime thing. They had no idea this event would become the Q2______ of
the Thanksgiving customs we now share throughout the United States and Canada. However, that
first celebration didn’t Q3______ our modern traditions much. The meat served was likely goose or
duck. And there was probably a bit of fish there, too. There were no potatoes, no pie, no stuffing,
and no cranberries. Nowadays Thanksgiving dinner is a meal custommade for overeating. So it
helps to Q4______ attention and to have some thoughtful strategies to avoid that uncomfortable
feeling of being stuffed. Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays where most of my family all get
together to celebrate. In the first week of November the family decides whose house we will have
Thanksgiving dinner at. It usually ends Q5______ being my sisters’ house because it is the biggest,
and most convenient. We Q6______ up a table for the children and the adults can choose to eat at a
different table, or in the living room with the game on. During the day, while turkey is being
cooked, the adults watch a football game, or just hang out and chat. The children are free to go
outside if the weather is good, or play inside with their toys. We usually arrange the food in a buffet
style. The children are served first and when they are all set at their table, the adults dig in. While
we are eating, there is a lot of talking, and catching up. Then we start to clean up and make up some
plates to each take home, and look Q7______ to Christmas.
