Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to all who are traveling far (some very far) and near to visit family this year. Enjoy your travels and visits with family:)
I woke up yesterday feeling quite chipper about the upcoming holiday and today I woke up feeling like a 10 year-old on Christmas day! Last year I hosted my very first Thanksgiving at my house and I loved it. Loved. It. I have no idea why I get so perversely happy about making TONS of food for my family and friends to consume. It's not like I enjoy cooking dinner every night because I've had at least Lean Cuisine dinners so far this week. And I get stressed out in crowds, especially when a bunch of people are packed into a small space (my house). Somehow I just have an intense feeling of happiness when I cook a big, over-the-top meal for people. I'm even making cranberry sauce! Never have I sat through a Thanksgiving with cranberry sauce before!
I also need to clean because I have some special guests this time. I have invited a couple of international residents to enjoy the feast with me--a couple from India and a couple from Malaysia and Japan. I'm hoping every thing turns out well--of course, I'd be happy if the turkey was secured in my fridge right now instead of 40 miles away.
You know what is after tomorrow? Christmas! I love this time of year--the smells, the sounds of Christmas, the food, the friends and family, all the traditions that families stick to.
What kind of traditions do you have? Are any of them a little bizarre?

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I love Christmas too. We had our Thanksgiving over a month ago, so we're in full Christmas prep mode.
What would the Christmas season be without listening to the Chipmunks?? Especially with a 2-year-old in the house. Although listening to the entire album might have me adding a little something to my eggnog. :)
One tradition I've started is buying a special ornament each year and adding the date to it. I started this before I received my referral, and a few years later it's a trip down memory lane everytime I take those ornaments out of the box. Each ornament reflects the stage my life was at.
