The first Thanksgiving ( Li Li)

The article is about the author's first time to invite her parents to come to her house to celebrate the Thanksgiving. Her family is a little bit strange. She stayed with her family together, but they didn't know what to talk about. The author thinks all of them wants to go back home and she wanted them to go back home too.
I think the author's family is strange. During the holidays, my family usually get together. We play together, we eat together also we rest together. That is the family. The family members are the people who are the closest to you. They are the one who never hurts you and always be with you. So I think we should be open to our family. Discuss with them when you are not sure.
