Holidays always make me feel nostalgic. I long for the time that we used to live in New York, and having loads of family to celebrate with. Living in Arizona, the only family is my brothers and sister and their families. Next year we will be able to celebrate with my other sister, as she will be moving her family out here, too. I miss being able to run around with my cousins playing in someone's yard. These days we don't run, we chase our own children. As the years go by our family gets bigger and bigger, soon the children with start families of their own, too.
Besides being with family, one of the things I love about Thanksgiving is the turkey. There is just something about that large bird that screams HOLIDAY! Then we surround it with tons of other foods, homemade mashed potatoes, corn, green beans. We drink and be festive as our children run around chasing each other as we once did. Then it's time for dessert! Pumpkin pie, apple pie, cheesecake, coffee.
It isn't the same celebrating holidays without the snow and unbearably cold weather. I suppose it doesn't really matter where you are, how old you get or what the temperature is outside, as long as you are with family, the holidays will always be special! Even though I will be separated from a lot of my family tomorrow, I will still have a wonderful Thanksgiving, as I'm sure they will, and will continue to make more wonderful memories. To everyone out in cyberspace that enjoys my blog, please have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
Next time: Full of what exactly?
