I don't really get Thanksgiving. I mean, no, I GET it, but I just don't care that much. Don't get me wrong, I love me a day off and I enjoy getting together with family, but the hell that is traffic just ruins that for me. So, because I refuse to drive on Thanksgiving, I don't actually get to enjoy that part. I usually just grab something at Jack in the Box or make something simple for my husband and I.
I wish we had more opportunities to spend time with family. I just don't think having this one day per year is the way to go. Shouldn't we appreciate the things in our life all year long? Shouldn't we make time for family and friends regularly and not just figure, "oh, we'll see each other on Thanksgiving" when everyone is stressing out from the traffic and the cooking and all like that? There should be a better way. But, I guess we'd have to shift our paradigm.
Ah well... this year I'm eating dinner in a restaurant. I know. I'm a horrible person because I'm supporting people having to work on Thanksgiving, but that special dinner sounds great, it's a quarter mile from my house (no freeway) and I have a gift card. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ME!
