Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry sauce is an interesting Thanksgiving tradition. For some people it is essential whether they like it or not. My family, we are usually not very consistent with having it. None of us like it that much. However, this Thanksgiving, we went up to my aunt's house in Farmington. She had her whole family there, so there was a big crowd. While we were eating, I asked my cousin if her family was big into cranberry sauce because I saw it on every table. She said that they didn't really all love it, but her dad liked it and wanted to have it every year. Later, when we were cleaning up, she and I were clearing the tables and it was interesting to see that the bowls of cranberry sauce were barely touched. The group did not seem to enjoy it that much, but it seemed to be an essential tradition to have it as part of the Thanksgiving dinner.
