Thanksgiving
Posted in Holiday on 11/21/2007 04:04 pm by enjanerdFirst Thanksgiving was last Saturday before I got back from Florida. My family did their usual lunch thing, but with Thanksgivingier food than usual. I stopped by the parents’ on my way home and had some dinner with them. In retrospect, I maybe shouldn’t have stopped by. I hope they didn’t catch my disease. I was definitely in the prime of my contagiousness. It was interesting, as per the usual… my grandmother asking me personal questions, my father telling her not to ask, then my mother jumping in to tell me that things seemed so happy. I told them about the seashells I collected.
Tonight will be second Thanksgiving. My aunt is hosting an early Thanksgiving for all of us since my mother has decided to spend tomorrow with her other family. (Her father and siblings, not like a secret family that she has hidden from us for decades and is now not so secretly trying to reveal to us. That’s not the case at all. Clearly.) I don’t know what they’re all up to tomorrow, but tonight is the night for giving thanks.
Third Thanksgiving is going to be on Saturday after my mom gets back. I think it’s going to be the usual crew. Same as tonight except with my mom.
Also have tentative plans for a BFF get-together. It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve seen her.
This is the first year in a while that I haven’t had double Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. Actually, this is the first year with no Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. But 3 Thanksgivings spread out over the week isn’t too bad. And I get pie practically every day. We’ll see how it goes.XIII trailer
