No more food Nanay!

Hello everyone!

This will be our Thanksgiving questions. Remeber the gift of giving and being thankful for what you have. This day wasn't just to freeload off one another. It's to show that this world isn't as bad as it seems we all have hearts why not show it to everyone. Even the ones we do not know. Tis' the season to be kind, loving, understanding, and to care for one another as well as being there for one another.

"Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are." - Joyce Giraud

1. Do you like Pumpkin Pie?
2. What is your favorite food to eat during Thanksgiving meal?
