Add me to those that love this holiday. This year looks a bit different for us as neither of our adult kids or their wives will be with us, and neither will some other family that usually joins us. So it looks like a small group of just 5. But - that is ok, and we will still have a lovely evening. I enjoy every aspect of Thanksgiving. The shopping, the cleaning, the cooking, the cleaning up. I'll miss a busy, boisterous loud house but there will be other years to come with that....Plus Husband leaves for a hunting trip the day after so i get the get the house straightened up and whatnot and then decorated to my liking for the Christmas holidays at my pace. A nice, long 3 day weekend all to myself. I think I'll schedule a massage for myself during that time as well!
