For most people today means turkey, stuffing, green beans, PIES...for us ...not so much...

Since hubb is not home......our choice, we would rather he be here at Christmas longer, than he be home for both holidays a shorter amount of time.........it just makes things more relaxed and enjoyable for us.  Most people look at me like I have two heads when I say that, but oh well..........it works for our family and they just don't get the truck driving lifestyle............so we always get all these invitations to go to people's house for Thanksgiving.........ok I'm NOT a stick in the mud, really I'm not but I LIKE being HOME on the holidays, I like for it to just be me & the kids on Thanksgiving day...........it has been this way the last few years and we have come to enjoy our own "Thanksgiving Traditions" we do what WE want to do........no we aren't making turkey & stuffing but we are:

• making homemade biscuits to go with breakfast......yum-o
• watching the Macy's parade
• putting the Christmas tree up this afternoon..and other decorations... trust me it takes up the entire day

these have come to be our family tradtions...and we enjoy them....my kids even ASK for us to do these things......so don't feel bad that we aren't having turkey, that we aren't going to someone's house so we won't be "alone" on the holiday........We are enjoying our holiday...our way......oh and yes we will have PIE!!

As for Christmas...we will have turkey & all the trimming...because that is what dad wants...and he deserves his turkey, he works hard for all year long he will get his turkey....but  for New years....we are having HAM........because that is what the kids & I want!
