Thanksgiving with the Family

When you get down to the core of Thanksgiving, it's about being with those that you love. Whether that be your family of birth or your family of choice, it's the holiday that's about being around those that mean the most to you.

This year, we want to hear about your stories of your family. Do you have great thoughts of Thanksgivings past? Let us know about them here on Patch.

I remember one year I wasn't able to be with my family for Thanksgiving. I was in South Korea with the Army. I was also with a group of soldiers in the same predicament as I was. Instead of yearning for home, we set aside an area of the barracks and made our own Thanksgiving dinner. 

While I wouldn't say it was the fanciest Thanksgiving or the most traditional, it was a unique Thanksgiving that reminded me that Thanksgiving is what you make of it.
