Thanksgivin'

As a "warning" to what I am about to say...I am in no way un-thankful for the sacrifice the pilgrims gave for us to have what we have.

So, I believe that Thanksgiving is overrated, unless, there is extended family to celebrate with. If you are like my family, nomads essentially, we are thousands of miles away from any family, and therefore, had a very lonely thanksgiving. The last few years, my family hasn't even made a thanksgiving dinner. They've gone to a local church for their Thanksgiving dinner. This year our ward had a thanksgivinng dinner at our church, but it just wasn't special.

I think that we shouldn't need a special day for giving thanks. If you have family nearby, great, count your blessings and gather together for a special dinner. But if not, don't feel bad that this holiday just isn't your favorite.

I am pretty sure that, unless my husband just LOVES thanksgiving, we are just going to have a nice day off work, do nothing, and then go to a restaurant for dinner.

Just sayin'.
