Today is Thanksgiving. The holiday that celebrates the vice of Gluttony. Growing up, for me, this ment a smoked turkey, cranberry jelly in tube form, potatoes and gravy, and having a few family friends over. I always tried to out eat the adults. Which lead to being over stuffed, then hungry again about 2 hours later (I miss having the metabolism of a 13 year old). Now that I'm older, it now feels so different. First Jake and I go to his family gathering of about 50 people. All somehow fitted into a house up in Holiday with kids pouring out of every nook and cranny. Next we head to either my dad's place or our family friends house. This year we'll be going to one of Janie's friends house, where its a gathering of a handful of adults. Once done there we scramble home to get deserts ready for friends. I've gone from a small relaxing holiday to a crazed people-a-thon. Some years it feels nuts but I'm getting use to it.
So be your gathering small or large, hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!
