This holiday cannot be forgotten. It is one of my favs. It is my dad's favorite. And it is always right around my mom's birthday. Why is it a favorite? Yes, there's the delicious food, great leftovers, and lots of conversation that can't be beat. But most of all, it's the feeling you get during this time. This feeling of devotion, of gratitude, of holiday spirit that just seems to make your joy that much greater. It's that feeling you get when you listen to an instrumental of the Messiah with your eyes closed, moving with the notes and humming the melodies. Cliche, I think not, it's just downright true.

hey! I'm sitting in the kitchen right now watching sweet yams being made and talking to the fam. we came early so that we could smell all the fabulous smells and help set up, (and checking the blogs... um... new tradition?) And I just bought tickets to the messiah sing-in per dad's instructions.
And we miss you!
Happy Thanksgiving!
