We are having Thanksgiving today. The other day I wrote about not mixing holidays, but there are exceptions. We had to go home for my wife's grandmother's funeral. We left the day after Thanksgiving and found no reason to cook a big meal to just let it sit in the fridge for six days and go bad. What we ended up doing was postponing Thanksgiving until my next day off. Which is today. We do have some Christmas decorations up, so we have a mixed bag of holidays today. Whatever.
We don't really have a big dinner celebration for the holiday so it didn't feel like we missed out on having it in November as opposed to December. That is one of the nice things about not having family in town. You don't have to prep a big meal. We did have a little bit of a meal on Thanksgiving. Stuffing and rolls. That was it. So just a taste, but not enough to make me not want more. And besides, it is still fall like right now. Not like there is a ton of snow on the ground that would convince me it is wintertime.
One positive, for my wife anyway, for having our Thanksgiving a few weeks late is that she doesn't have to watch or listen to football all day long. Plus I don't have to watch the Lions choke away another game. *Whimpers softly*
