2 days--count 'em--until Thanksgiving Day.
Our extended family has already had an "early bird" feast with nieces, nephews-in-law, new girlfriend (heaven help her), GREAT-nephew (yes, it's come to that), etc.
So it's my turn on Thursday....turkey, taters, veg, NO pie (brownies & ice cream--no holiday is complete w/o chocolate). As one of my late, lamented colleagues used to say: "It'll be a lovely holiday as long as the gin holds out!"
And after Thanksgiving, of course, comes the Retail Season, which we can all celebrate with crazy merriment in this year of tanking stocks and disappearing 401Ks. Okay, maybe not. But if you're in the mood, you can head to Kohls at 4 a.m. on Friday and drive yourself insane trying to find a sweater in your mom's size---which won't be there, because everyone else in the world wears her size too! I'll be thinking happy thoughts for you as I sleep off the turkey.
You mean I won't see you at Kohl's at 4 AM? Too bad, you'll miss all the bargains. Anyway, it sound like you will have an enjoyable Thanksgiving. Don't work too hard; maybe you can delegate some work to your son and daughter. I am dreaming. Enjoy the holiday.
