Feature: Thanksgiving Traditions

by Peyton K. 

Mr. Mickelson said that his favorite thing about Thanksgiving is that it marks the beginning of Christmas. Now that's kind of sad because it's Thanksgiving, and all he thinks about is Christmas, but we don’t judge.

We also asked for his favorite food and or drink, which he replied with Cranberry Sprite and Cheesy potatoes. His favorite relative is his cousin Tava. 

Since some of the other interviewees don't celebrate the day of we felt the need to ask when they do, Mr. Mickelson celebrates the day of Thanksgiving. His favorite tradition is watching Christmas movies on Thanksgiving with family. After the second answer about Christmas I asked him if he even celebrates Thanksgiving, which yes he does. 

Mr. Mickelson's favorite thing about Thanksgiving is missing school over break/ teaching. Then we asked if he thought his family did anything specific and he said not really but I have never met someone who celebrates Thanksgiving by doing Christmas things. His advice was to, and I quote “Stay rizzy” Mrs. Anderws said not to put it in, but I have to write what he says. [allowed by Mrs. Andrews :)]
