Okay, Thanksgiving is over, and I'm not feeling like writing
a blog, but I have to write blogs for Saturday and Sunday. Why don't I feel like writing a blog; it's
because I'm stuffed like the famous Christmas goose. After two big dinners, one the night before
Thanksgiving and one the day of Thanksgiving I may not eat for the rest of the
week.
On Wednesday night, we took our youngest son and
daughter-in-law out for a buffet dinner lots of delectable
goodies. Then on Thanksgiving day, we met
our oldest son (he had to work on Friday and the rest of his family was in Wisconsin
All of our family have so many things to be thankful
for. Everyone has a job, a home, food,
decent health and plenty of all the things we need to be comfortable in
life. We are truly blessed, and I'm
truly thankful for our blessings.
Is anyone in the mood for Christmas shopping? Did anyone go shopping on black Friday? Oh, you poor souls that did black Friday you
have my sympathy. I did black Friday
once years ago and swore I would never do it again.
Even if I'm not in the mood for shopping, I'm in the mood
for baking. This is something I like to
do for the neighbors, friends and family.
I used to take in huge roasters of goodies to the people I worked with,
but I'm retired now.
We like to adopt a family during the holidays, and it's much
more fun to shop for them than our family.
Although, we have a couple of grandchildren who are married with
children that need a little more help this year. They are still fortunate because we can help,
and so can their parents.
Well, I've rambled enough, so I'm going to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas, since I won't be back until December 29th.
Happy Holidays!
Hope you had great Thanksgiving, Sandy. Nope, I'm not ready for Xmas shopping. Not yet. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing it is when one can say they are blessed. I too am blessed with a wonderful family, friends and love ones to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIndeed many blessings Sandy! We are doing our second Thanksgiving dinner today. I'm sure to be stuffed and come home with leftovers to last the week. I did have enough ham and turkey by yesterday, so I got a pizza. You can't go wrong with one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas...
We went out to dinner for the first time this year. I must say I'll never cook that big turkey dinner again. No mess to clean up and wonderful food, with plenty of leftovers for another meal.And I too am unusually blessed, so had lots to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy...we adopt a family too and it is so rewarding because all the kids and grandkids have more than enough children toys and adult toys. These days when one needs something ...they go out and buy it. I am guilty too.
ReplyDeleteWe had two Thanksgivings too...one for families who had no one in Florida! They loved the special attention we gave them in our home.
NO I DID NOT SHOP ON BLACK FRIDAY or Thanksgiving day for that matter. I always shop on line anyway...I don't like big crowds and I certainly don't like it when the news shows people fighting over a sale item. It is just not worth it in my opinion.
Have a wonderful Holiday time....we are putting up all our trees today. This year, the Captain said we were bringing in help so I don't have to climb the ladders to reach the top of the 12 and 9 foot trees! That is Christmas present enough for me. :)
I think I'm still stuffed from Thanksgiving, also. I didn't make quite as much as I usually do and sent most of it home with the kids. Christmas shopping? I'm not in the mood yet but I may do most of it online. I avoid Black Friday like the plague!
ReplyDeleteTina, I'm never ready to shop. I'm like a man when it comes to shopping. I go what I'm after and get out. lol We did have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy. Yes, we are blessed with family and friends, too. I will be cooking Christmas dinner, which I haven't done for a couple of years.
LOL Melissa, you can only stand so many leftovers. Enjoy the pizza! Grin! Sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteJean, I'm glad you are blessed, too. I won't cook turkey again either.
Kari, you're so blessed to have the Captain.
Paris, that's what I do with leftover food; send it home with the kids, my brother and grandkids, which is what I'll do at Christmas.
