I had my first holiday without the kids and WAS last Thanksgiving. I wound up helping with a thanksgiving dinner for the homeless/poor in our town, hundreds of people. It wound up being one of my best holidays ever. It's hard to feel sorry for yourself when you realize so many have it way harder.
I have the kids this year, and I plan to have them help out too. I think they'll enjoy it and get a lot out of it. So we have a new T-giving tradition...I know lots of towns do something like that, and I think it really is a great idea if anyone is thinking about it.
