I was in China for Thanksgiving from '04-'07, and for the past three years that I've been home it's just been my parents and me since my sister goes to her husband's family. But this year we're all together (including my sister's MIL) which means that it's the FIRST family Thanksgiving all together since my nephews have been born. Hooray!
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. While the food is big part of that (I mean, let's be honest, the food is yummy) I've just always loved how relaxed and comfortable it is. We eat a lot, put on stretchy pants, nap, watch football, eat, nap, and watch more football. What's not to love about that? Christmas is great but that involves the stress of gift-giving and shopping and all the icky commercialism that seems to engulf the spirit of the day. Nope, give me Thanksgiving, a holiday where we can all be ourselves and remember the blessings we have.
I have class from 1:15 to 2:30, then I'm hitting the road for Louisville. Yippee! Wishing you all the best on your holiday weekend!
