Thanksgiving...

I LOVE Thanksgiving. I have decided it is my favorite holiday. Why? Turkey, cranberries, the smell of fresh, hot buttery rolls. Family, gratitude, glass is half full time. No one asks you to say all the things you wish you had. Time to snuggle up, eat pie, take a nap. Time to smell fall leaves, or watch snow fall, you never know, this is Utah. Not too much decorating, or cooking...(okay in 10 years I may have to eat those words, trust me I am grateful for whoever cooks each year, and this year it's me and the yams). No financial commitment. No extra debt. Apple pie with crumbs on top. Sweaters. The emphasis on getting together as a family, not too early or too late. Cheese balls. Olives and carrots. Cranberry orange sprite punch. Okay maybe I just love to eat all year and this is the only holiday that celebrates that. But really it is much more than that.
