Thanksgiving!

Oh Thanksgiving. How I adore you. A whole day dedicated to food! How much more amazing could it be?

However, on a side note, I do have to say that it really bothers me when people call it Turkey Day. It's not a day about Turkey. It's a day about giving thanks and it seems to me that people just forget that simply because we do get to eat crap loads of food.

But anyway. Thanksgiving. Food and family and friends. This year for Thanksgiving, we had everyone come over to our house. Derek came too, which was kind of a surprise that my parents said okay because they make it clear sometimes that he is not a part of the family. Which really ticks me off because one day he could be and they just need to realize that I'm going to get married eventually and they can't expect me to come over on holidays by myself and leave my husband at home. This is the part of parenting where I think they can't just let go and realize their kids are growing up and that they can't suppress and keep them from boys (or girls) forever.

I think the best thing about our Thanksgiving feasts is... Hmm... It's hard to say. I know Christopher would hands down say it's the orange rolls that Grandma makes, and while those are good, I wouldn't say they are the best thing. I think that it's the mashed potatoes. There's always so much, it's like the cliche volcano with gravy lava and it's so warm and delicious.

Oh, I take it back. The best part of the Thanksgiving feast is leftovers that last a week and a half. Turkey sandwiches are AMAZING!

And now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, we can focus on the more important holiday--Christmas!!! Haha, just kidding. Thanksgiving is a very important and fun holiday. But you have to admit that the thought of Christmas excites you. All the snow and decorations, candy canes and hot chocolate, Christmas trees and Christmas music. The feeling of Christmas (when not clouded by Christmas consumerism and selfish greed) is one of the best feelings ever.

But now that I have ruined my Thanksgiving post by rambling on about Christmas, I will give one last praise to my beautiful holiday and let it know that it will be missed. Until next year!!
