I LOVE Thanksgiving. I absolutely refuse to decorate or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Growing up we would drive to the Twin Cities for Thanksgiving and on the way home listen to Christmas music.
My 9th great grandparents came over on the Mayflower, so Thanksgiving has always been a special holiday for the history of my family.
I love Thanksgiving because it is all about FAMILY. We spend the holiday weekend with my mom's side of the family. So it is my mom & dad, brothers, SIL, niece & nephew, aunts, uncle, grandma, cousins, etc, the whole weekend. This year my brother who lives out of state is coming to surprise my parents. We watch football together, share what we are thankful for, play board games, hang out, etc. the whole weekend. I just don't feel the same way about Christmas, there is too much busyness to it.
