We're not really "big" on Thanksgiving here anyway. I mean, we always celebrate it with the obligatory meal, and I usually watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade--well, some of it anyway. I always feel bad if I don't see some of it--even though, in all honesty, I do find it a bit of a bore. I don't think I could handle viewing the whole thing.
Anyway . . . I love when we actually have company for Thanksgiving--like we did in 2004 when my brother-in-law, Howard, and our friend Edward (on the right in the photo on the previous post) came to visit. That was one of the best Thanksgiving's I can remember. Not so much for the actual Thanksgiving Day part, but just because I must admit that I do like to have company, especially on holidays. Everything about a holiday seems extra cosy with company.
I think too, that Thanksgiving will be different when we have children--of the non-kitty persuasion. On top of things, Matthew's English, so, well, aside from the fact that he loves the typical meal . . . . Although, really, it should mean more to him. I mean, the Pilgrims were English. ;-)
Here was my Thanksgiving meal.
Organic peas, organic stuffing, organic cranberry sauce (Yes, we try to buy only organic.), and Quorn™ Turk'y Roast. Everything was YUMMY!
On a different note, I am patting myself on the back for having gotten the Christmas cards done last evening, and having posted them today! This is the earliest that that task's ever been done. Now I can mark that off of my list. :-)
Tomorrow is another round of house hunting. My mother and I (Matthew is working) are going to have a look at two possibilities. I have high hopes for both--at the moment anyway . . . .
For now, it's back to some pressie making finishing touches and perhaps a bit of package wrapping.
