This Thankgiving I will be the host with about 20 guests...I say about.. because can you really call a 3 month old baby a guest?
I really do love doing the Thanksgiving thing.
I do it every year with different results as some family members rotate between in-laws and my husband and I.
I have compiled my list of thanks since it is mandatory this time of year.
I am Thankful..
That I finally learned to tolerate sweet potatoes.
That I'll be too busy with clean up for any Day After Thanksgiving shopping.
That some Thanksgivings are overcast so dirty windows aren't as noticeable.
That someone else kills the turkey and I only have to cook it.
That I remembered to wash the dust from my holiday wine glasses.
That the luminary paper bags lining my walkway don't catch on fire.
That the topiary I made from florist foam, toothpicks and fresh fruit stays in one piece.
That the pumpkin from Halloween isn't too molded to decorate with (if I turn the face to the wall)
That Thanksgiving is only once a year and....
That Martha Stewart is not one of my Thanksgiving guests.
