Turkey and Time

Thanksgiving this year wasn’t the nearly maddening experience it usually is for us. Jason’s family, due to scheduling conflicts, had their Thanksgiving dinner a few days after Thanksgiving. Hallelujah! For once we didn’t have to eat and dash and then force ourselves to eat again. Getting to spend time with both of our families, without the usual time constraints, seemed unnatural for a holiday but boy was it sublime. We ate slowly, talked much, and even got to play a couple of board games. If every year worked out like that I would not complain one bit…not even half a bit.
