I will be celebrating Thanksgiving with my mom and son tomorrow. My dad is back home where my sister and her family are. My boyfriend is visiting his sister back East and who knows about Christmas…

One thing I do know is that family time is priceless, no matter what date the calendar shows.

Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Wednesday. Happy Day to you.

*hugs*

Thanks is for giving daily.
And, unfortunately, the italicized quote about stores being open on Thanksgiving is probably more true than we realize…there’s just no resting in this world.
Blessings to you!

Happy Faux Thanksgiving, Kelly! Our holiday will be a little different this year–one of my sisters-in-law has to, uh, sorry, wants to spend the holiday with her in-laws…you’re welcome to join us!

Personally, I wonder: why is it that we all wait for “holidays” to get together for dinner with family members? There are what – 362 or so other days we could have family get-together meals? Add in the stress of the hostess/host working like a mania, doling out who-brings-what, and I’m hard pressed to remember a Thanksgiving or Christmas Day family get together I really enjoyed.

Love the six pizzas and salad idea for a non-holiday gathering. What? We could actually focus on each other and TALK???

I love seeing my family (especially the littler ones) but the holidays just seem to bring out the crabbiness and fatigue rather than the love and sharing.

Oh, well. I know I’m in the minority here.
