Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. You don't have to do much more than show up, eat dinner, and hang with friends and/or family. Our family isn't huge, but it's not tiny either. We managed to pack away the best part of a 20 pound bird, 10 pounds of mashed potatoes, stuffing, veggies, and the four pies that mom made. And thankfully, this year, the weather was cooperative enough not to rain so we could get outside for an after dinner walk. But perhaps the greatest moment was watching the men in my family watching "March of the Penguins." You had to be there to really apprecite it.
Friday morning started early. The alarm went off at 3:30 am. Can't miss those sales. It's ridiculous, I know, but it's tradition. And Thanksgiving weekend is all about traditions. We literally shopped until we were about to drop. The great news is that just about all of my Christmas shopping is done!
In our family the Saturday after Thanksgiving has it's own tradition. It's tree cutting day. Yes, my mother always gets her Christmas tree two days after Thanksgiving. She likes to enjoy it for as long as she can. And I don't blame her. I do the same thing!
