Protest as I did to myself, I have decided to stay home and cook. I got the bug!!!! Told my family they were all welcome to come ever if they wanted to but I was invited to their homes so I think we will all make our own meals and possibly visit another time. This town is such a madhouse traffic wise during the holidays and the drunks on the road are frightful. My family all live an hours drive away and I am just not in the mood to fight the traffic etc. I have 4 old timers coming from the Nursing home a couple blocks away and am housing 3 extra dogs right now from the SPCA, so I have to be here. This is my kind of Thanksgiving anyway, being able to give to others...I enjoy being in my own home on holidays and have already put up some festive Christmas decorations...and am baking.
