We spend Thanksgiving with my family. I have a large (about 30) family that is in the area. We all meet at my mom and dads and have a Thanksgiving dinner. I love it. I feel all warm and cozy inside just thinking about it.
As hectic as it is with that many people (the majority being under 14) it gives me peace to rustle around the kitchen with all my sis in laws getting dinner ready and hearing lively discussions coming from the living room from my husband, dad and brothers. As old fashioned as that sounds, we love it that way. We talk our women talk and let them men talk theirs.
My mom has her house all decorated in fall colors and has her Christmas boxes already pulled down and we all know that the tree goes up on Friday or Saturday.
We all stuff ourselves to the brim and then sit in the living room just enjoying each others company, no tv, no radio, no phones ringing....just being together.
I love it.....i look forward to this all year.
