Let's talk about Thanksgiving. Because, I mean... come on. It's a holiday all about food. Who can hate Thanksgiving?
Who else hates when Thanksgiving is totally overlooked for Christmas? Because let me tell you, I look forward to Thanksgiving every year WAY more than I look forward to Christmas. The only holiday I look forward to more is my birthday, which is conveniently either on or a few days around Thanksgiving. Clearly November is the month of the Gods. Anyway, I'm so excited for next week! My mom is an excellent cook, and this year I feel competent enough to actually contribute to the meal. I'll post about what I make!
Last Thanksgiving, I went to upstate New York and celebrated with Mandy and her family, and it was absolutely wonderful. Jurgen's smoked turkey was quite possibly the most delicious thing I have ever tasted, and drinking way too much warm spiced wine was just delightful. The entire extended family was there and I felt nothing but welcomed and happy. That is what Thanksgiving is all about. I think it is way better than Christmas, where there is so much pressure to find the right presents and get the decorations looking classy yet festive... I'd much rather share a tasty meal with people I love.
And then take a long nap. Heck yes.
