What Are You Planning For The Holidays?

[Gardener]

Well, when STBXW and I married, we switced Thanksgiving Day Celebration to Friday to eliminate at least one of the which-parent-this-time conflicts for the kids. Worked out great. STBXW and I felt like we kinda had 2 Thanksgivings. Had the wonderful extra day to prepare and cook, put on the Macy's parade on the TV and had a non-hectic blast. We've done it for 17 years.

I'm continuing it this Friday with my S,32 (S ,33's in Colorado), My B, SIL, and two N's as always. StepS had said he was coming. Now, not so sure. So, missing will be Wife, StepS (probably) Recent WAW DIL, 32 and GS, 4.

So, there'll be a little more elbow room around the formerly crammed table (so crammed that wife and I shared the piano bench at the head of the table).

And as always, even this year of two Ds in the Gardener Clan, there is much to be thankful for, not the least of which are the dozens and dozens of helpful, caring friends on theses boards - friends I didn't have last Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
