We had a perfectly adequate Thanksgiving, thank you.
I suppose I'm a boring synic, but I've never really cared for Thanksgiving! Isn't that ungrateful of me? I've always much preferred the day after Thankgiving day; left over turkey and yams enjoyed in front of the television rather than in front of family.
And since I've been married Thanksgiving usually comes with other stressors like spending it with my husband's family. Don't get me wrong, I love my in-laws, and their food is always very good, I just always somehow find a way to offend at least one of them every time I'm in their company! I blame it on my upbringing. I've always been a highly opinionated girl and my mother encouraged this attribute. "Its good to have a strong mind." She'd say. And I agree with that, however tact would have been a nice lesson to add to that!
This year, however I managed to get through the entire dinner, pie and even the hours of conversation after without someone hating me (or at least not that I know of) by the end of the night. I think I deserve a reward or something...perhaps...SEES CHOCOLATES! I think that's fair.
