You know, Thanksgiving used to my favorite holiday. I’d never really thought about that before. Now? I keep flip flopping back and forth between “It really sucks” and “It’s just another day of the year – that I happen to get paid vacation time for.”
Thanksgiving, properly celebrated, should be spent surrounded by family.
I can’t do that.
I will be at a friend’s house for the traditional turkey dinner, and while I’m totally appreciative of that, it’s just not the same. Last year, I spent the day totally alone, and I prepared myself a turkey dinner, including my granny’s recipe for sausage dressing! It was a great meal. Probably the best I’ve ever made. But it did fall a little flat with no one there to share it with. This year I decided it’s way too much work to try and do that especially since I got the key to my new apartment yesterday and need to start moving.
I miss my family.
To those of you who are spending this day exactly the way you want to: I hope the day if filled with joy for you.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Happy Thanksgiving! Maybe next year you can make it home…or persuade everyone they need a Coloradan Thanksgiving!
