Dotsie,
We have spent the Holidays with both sides of the family. One year our son made some comment and we decided to stay home enjoy the day. Its less stress.
Sometimes we buy the turkey, cook it with all the trimmings. Other times we buy a boxed meal at the local market. In doing the math its less expensive and less mess.
Friends can drop by if they like. The guys watch football and I am usually working on crafts.
We also play games and there's a puzzle on the card table. We attend a Church service Thanksgiving Eve.
Like Misfire I look forward to longer,warmer days.
Thanks,
Maggie
