Turkey Hangover? Eggnog nipping and sipping? Black Friday basket filling?
What does the day after Thanksgiving look like where you’re at?
Here’s a glimpse of the fun we’ve had today!

We slept in, cleaned this morning, and spent all afternoon decorating. When we were done, we settled in with our plates of goodies and watched MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET. The original.
And now it’s time to watch HOOPS & YO-YO RUIN CHRISTMAS.
Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, have a wonderful weekend.

Far be it from me to stray from what so many will post about today: reasons to be Thankful. While I’d love to discourse on how this beautiful feast first began, I’d much rather spend time with my family and friends. As, I’m sure, you do too.
And so in lieu of a lengthy post, here’s my simple statement.
I met a homeless man outside the office tonight. He asked me how I was, and I said, “I’m good.” And then I surprised him by asking his name, and how he was. His name is David. And he responded with, “I’ve seen better days. But I’m still breathing.” And then he smiled weakly.
Can I get an Amen for David?

I cannot tell a lie: I’m glad this is the easy post. I need the break. What with all the goings-on around here lately, extra house cleaning and holiday prepping… I welcome the break.
I still have four or more giveaways to do in the next two weeks, and before the week’s end I’m making my Holiday Doo Dads.
I’m going through Mission Inn withdrawals and trying to schedule several day trips there with friends between now and New Year’s. I am absolutely craving a Casey’s Cupcake and Coffee.
Now that I’m working again, a spring weekend is at the top of my List. I’m not sure I’ll be solvent enough by then, but if so… Well, you’ve read my Mission Inn reviews. You know. (If you don’t, you should. Read. And know.)
And tomorrow’s Thanksgiving! I can’t wait to House Hop. We’ll start out with a small breakfast at home, then head over to Mutti’s for brunch and a football game. Then we’ll head over to my dear friend Pam’s house for the annual Turkey Shoot (I’d tell you, but I’m sworn to secrecy… unless I can get photos). (No real turkeys are injured or harmed in any way. Promise!) We’ll follow it up with a group viewing of WHITE CHRISTMAS. This is a raucous group: we know the movie by heart, and pretty much you can leave the TV sound off and still hear the entire dialogue. And sounds. Yup, we got mad sound skills too.
That’s what we’re up to. What’s on your plate?
