Once upon a time, there was a family who lived in a small village. They were always excited for the Thanksgiving holiday because they got to spend time with their abuela. Abuela loved to cook traditional Mexican dishes for the family, like tamales. The family was grateful for the love and delicious food their abuela brought to the table every year. They all sat down together and said "thank you" for all the blessings in their lives. They laughed, danced, and ate until they couldn't eat anymore. Every year, this family looked forward to Thanksgiving and the delicious tamales made by their beloved abuela.
