This year, like most others from years past....My mom stayed up all night long on Wednesday creating a feast that should only be put before Kings. With Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, macaroni and cheese, brocoli casserole.... dirt cake, apple crisp, buckeyes (I am from OHIO!), two kinds of fudge... my aunt brought into the mixed cranberry something or other that smelled really good, oyster dressing, brownie pie, and pumpkin pie.... did I mention all of this was for 8 people? OMG! It was sooooo very good and I felt incredibly blessed to be able to be present with my family this Thanksgiving! Very fun. My cousins, who are now 12 have taken on personalities of their own...both incredibly fun!
There is something about Thanksgiving that means family to me more than any other holiday, including Christmas. Thanksgiving is just a time to come together without any obligation, no guilty or comercialism, no cards or packages....just for time...to be with one another, to fellowship, to watch football or movies or root through sales papers.... Thanksgiving means family.
