“I’m very thankful for my family. I am going to drive out to Salt Lake and visit my grandmother. We’re gonna have a really big turkey, a lot of my family goes out to my grandma’s house, so a lot of us will be there. It\u2019ll be nice seeing everyone. I haven\u2019t seen some of my cousins in almost a year so that\u2019ll be great. We get together during Thanksgiving and Christmas time.”<\/p>\n

“I am thankful that I have a job, I can pay my bills. I\u2019m thankful that I have people that love me, and I\u2019m thankful to be alive and that I live in America. [For Thanksgiving] I am going to my girlfriend\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

“Firstly, I should mention that I belong to a really good church family \u2013 a Presbyterian church. Really it\u2019s like an extended family for me, and I\u2019m thankful for that. It\u2019s helped me to grow up a lot. I\u2019m thankful for technology, I mean, because as many negative things there are about it, it does help us to connect to people across the world that we can\u2019t see face to face and communicate otherwise. I\u2019m also thankful for random people you can run into.\u00a0I\u2019m going to my uncle\u2019s apartment and invite some of our family over for lunch. Then I\u2019m going over to my brother\u2019s house for dinner. I have two young nieces so I always enjoy hanging out with them.”<\/p>\n

“Everything. My parents, and just all the people who influence me in my life. No I don\u2019t [have plans for Thanksgiving]. I actually work at Foodland. But I wanted to do some online shopping (laughs) because I don\u2019t like crowds. Too much people, been there done that.”<\/p>\n

“Lots of things. Having a shelter, a mom and dad that I love, friends, food on the table and stuff like that.\u00a0[I\u2019m] just probably going to stay at home with my parents and eat some turkey.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
