Just be thankful...

[almostwitty]

Today, as 260 million people (mostly Americans) sit down with their families eating turkey in the full knowledge they'll probably have to do it again in a months time for Christmas, I'm thankful I'm not one of them!

The whole hullabaloo over Christmas is bad enough, without having the dress rehersal that is Thanksgiving as well. Or have I got it completely confused and wrong ?!

I'm quite lucky in that T'Giving is, indeed, a day for turkey-themed gluttony, but my family is very close, and we like to keep things relatively low-key - no get-togethers of 25 people for us!

And then, for Xmas, my dad's usually in Europe, so I take over his place and throw a day-long party for friends without family to visit and/or pals wanting to get away from said family, with pot-luck catering and lashings of booze. Two very different holidays, both fab.

Unfortunately, dad's not going to Europe this year, so I'm not quite sure when/where I'll be doing the party, but I'm not giving it up, dammit! ;)
