Man O' Man Did I over do it this Thanksgiving. Before I talk about how much I ate and how many Miles I'm going to have to walk to burn off the 2nd slice of pumpkin pie, extra helping of stuffing, and 3rd slice of pumpkin pie =) I want to explain why Thanksgiving is my favorite "big time" holiday and what I'm thankful for.
For me, Thanksgiving is the only time a year when my family can get together and just "enjoy" each other's company. With Christmas, even though the reason for the season is great, I often find myself worrying about if i got the right presents for my family, and hopefully I didn't leave anyone off my Christmas list.
With Thanksgiving, all I have to worry about is if i put enough garlic in the garlic mash. This holiday was exceptional great because we kept it small, no pun intended, and we all had a part in preparing the feast.
What I'm thankful for:
-Family. (immediate and extended) For better or worse they shape us into who we are, and I think they made and continue to make me better.
-Health. I know this is a generic thing to be thankful for, but it's true. Too many people around me are going through medical stuff that really makes you stop and think.
-My razor sharp wit. Trust me it's there, you just have to look hard it's razor thin =)
-Not being born in Boston. Cause I would have been a Red Sox Fan. Also if I was a Bostonian I could wave bye-bye to the wit.
Hope your Thanksgiving was as great as mine.
-Chris
P.S. Just in case you were wondering, I DID use the right amount of garlic in the Mash taters.
