Thanksgiving: Traditional or Unique
Because my children were either born or raised in Jamaica, we really don't celebrate traditional Thanksgiving and being Native American myself, it's not really on the list of our "high" holidays. We kind of evolved some traditions of our own over the years including working at our local shelter then going to the movies or a show.
But this year we are back in Vegas with family around so we are doing something a bit more traditional tho we are still doing the shelter thing. An elder lady who we are sharing our holiday with is all miffed because we are doing ham and not turkey. Well i would have done turkey if the local supermarket's 29.95 special hadn't been sold out. I told her it was time to start NEW traditions. Why is change so hard for some people??
sooo what do YOU do?? Do you partake in a traditional t'giving dinner with all the trimmings or has it evolved over the years??
Besides the NON-US webmasters, do you think of T'Giving as just a bonus day in the week for football and gorging or do you make it family??
Holiday time is always stressful, no matter how small or large your family is. Just take a moment and BREATHE when you are overwhelmed.
Have a safe, happy and healthy day!!
