(after not having anyone here for Thanksgiving or Christmas in 2020) Since all the family is within day trip range, it will just be a one meal affair. Part of me looks forward to it, part of me dreads it... but I know it will be a good day. Wishing you and your family a wonderful day, as well.

We are thinking about volunteering and then perhaps having some friends over with no family around for an evening meal. I'm quite looking forward to it.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-2597174793536169372021-11-16T04:37:24.052-06:002021-11-16T04:37:24.052-06:00We celebrate with my sister.

I usually make a couple cold salads (broccoli salad and tossed, usually, big ones.) She does the hams and makes a mountain of mashed potatoes. Everyone else brings a side dish to pass. The pies are a group effort. <br /><br />I have to admit, Tim and I did some hard thinking on it, because most everyone there is antimask, anti-vax. It's just such a hard thing to know what to do with. In the end, Tim and I decided to go ahead. We are not the ones at most risk. On his side of the family, Thanksgiving has been canceled altogether out of covid concerns after the death of two 'shirt tail' relatives.

We don't have the Thanksgiving celebrations here; our closest equivalent in terms of festivities is Christmas. <br />It will be wonderful for you all to get together and have a happy celebration after the sadness of last year.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.com
