We had thanksgiving dinner yesterday and it was so nice to just catch up with people and eat some good food. For me, thanksgiving is an excuse to have people over and cook traditional feast foods! I normally have a potluck once per month, so what is different?
Thanksgiving has a beautiful theme to it. There’s a lovely thread connecting us all in this atmosphere of thankfullness and gratitude.
People can feel obligated to come, but it more than that gives them an excuse to come. Sometimes people can be flaky, so this is a kick in the butt to that.
I like having days of just the ‘traditional basics’ for thanksgiving. I’ve developed a love for Cranberry sauce and I can always eat mashed potatoes.
It’s a great way to share memories with people, and dishes too!
I feel different on thanksgiving, more patient with the world, and just in general grateful for my presence in it.
What did you do on thanksgiving?
I missed you.
