Ok so today is the big day for most of us. The day we have been waiting for all month, preparing for and looking forward to. The day where family and friends come together to enjoy food and laughter at one big happy table sharing everything they are thankful for. What are your favorite Thanksgiving memories. I have always had a house full for Thanksgiving. My mom and I were just talking about this yesterday. Since my very first boyfriend I have always had someone at my house and I have always done the cooking. At least most of the cooking. Some years we have a turkey as well as a ham. On those years I only cook one of them while my mother cooks the other. I have always had friends and family around for this holiday and have always had a houseful. This year there won’t be as many people because I live in a different state from some of my family and most of my friends. It’s a small gathering of my mom, my three kids, and my best friend. It is still a wonderful time. One thing I’ve noticed with less people is you have more time to really talk, I don’t mean the day to day how is work going, anything new kinds of things, but the real talking where you are sharing with the ones you love. I love that. It’s hard to do that when you have a house full of guests that you have to entertain. There are of course people who pop in to say hi but didn’t stay because they had places to go and other people to see but it’s nice seeing them any way. Any way the celebrations are over for now and I can’t wait until Christmas to do it all over again.
