Becca said:To everyone who celebrates, have a Happy Thanksgiving.
To the person who takes 15 minutes saying grace, to the child who
throws a roll to hit his brother in the head and starts a food fight
at the kids table, to the drunken uncle who tells all the family
secrets, to the crack addicted niece who baked the turkey upside down
and could not figure out why it looked strange, to great grandma who
thinks our children never learned how to mind, to the Aunt who tries
to keep her diabetic husband away from the dessert table, to the
person who left the rolls in the oven just a little too long, and of
course, forgetting to put the cranberry sauce on the table until
after the meal is over.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Becca
Gee... thanks... I think 😉 Fortunately I never had to deal with any of
that.
My oldest brother needs a tranquilizer dart to get him to shut up. And his
son didn't fall far from the proverbial tree. We never had an extended
family Thanksgiving (or Christmas). We moved around too much. I never saw
a grandmother, aunt, uncle, or cousins for any holiday. We were never near
any relatives for holidays. And my grandparents are dead and have been for
a very long time. So are all my aunts and uncles.
Tomorrow is just a cooking get together. No big deal. I don't *do*
Christmas; they know it. So after tomorrow the "holiday season" officially
ends for me.
I do hope you have a great time doing whatever it is you do this day with
family, Becca.
