Writing about the holiday is inevitable. I can't say it's my favorite though. Do we really need a holiday centered around eating until we are sick? Or remembering a holiday where we temporarily celebrated a friendship between people we eventually forced off of their homeland? Yes I guess we do. Now that I'm through with my criticisms of the day, I can say that I do love seeing all the family and having great times with friends I don't see regularly. This is the time where the whole family joins. Everyone covers up the tattoos, takes out the piercings and changes into the family appropriate wardrobe saved for these occasions. And after all of these inconvenient alterations to make everyone feel comfortable, the company we enjoy is worth it.
This Thanksgiving was the first where my entire family did not get together. This one, I spent more with friends who all were too far to go home and needed a makeshift family to be with. It has ended up being one of my favorites. My brother came home for the first time in 14 months and brought three of his friends and thier children and I had my two best friends join us. Each of them added to the experience and together it combined for an unparelled occasion. I hope everyone had a nice break.

I dont think that I am excited either about eating untill I get sick, but nonetheless I had a great Thanksgiving. My family went to my father's friend's house. My father's friend's wife is portuguese so our Thanksgiving meal had a portuguese twist to it. It was deffinently not a traditional Thanksgiving but still enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteHolidays to me are much more than just eating so much that you ends up sick. I went home for Thanksgiving as I try to do as much as I can, I am from Cleveland, OH. Family is everything to me. It is not perfect we are dysfunction , loud, funny, and loving. I miss not having my family with me. I am divorce and the love of my life lives in Cleveland, my daughters are 24 and 20 they have their on lives so I am in VA., alone. Most of my girlfriends live out of the state as well. So enjoy your time with your family and don’t change who you are for that day, let your family see who you really are.
ReplyDeleteI like your music.
Was this your favorite Thanksgiving because it was just different? Was it the food, the conversation, or the entire atmosphere that appealed to you this time around? Show us just that little bit more.
