Today is a great day to be thankful. I am thankful for the time Marty and I get to spend with family. Of course there will be good food but also plenty of storytelling and laughter. We love getting together with family. Now family does not always mean blood relatives only. In both of our families, friends have become family.
Traditions (Changes and Additions):
Marty's family has gone to the movie theater on Thanksgiving day for many years. This year we are going to see the latest Harry Potter movie.
My family always has a large dinner with plenty of discussion and fun. Mom and Dad made all the good food when the kids were growing up. The kids helped with some dishes (I can put together a killer relish plate) and setting the table with Mom's china and silver. Now the adult children each contribute to the meal.
A new tradition that I have brought to both families is crafting. Each year I bring down craft supplies and we make something fun (usually Christmas themed). Last year we made wreaths. It was so much fun seeing each persons own creation.
The best tradition of all is family. We both look forward to the time spent with family. I have heard of people being upset that they 'have' to spend time with family at the holidays. I am very grateful that both Marty and I have awesome families that are fun to be around.
Happy Family Day!
Happy Crafting Day!
Happy Thanksgiving Day!
