Since this thread is named Bobbie, I'll mention here that today is Thanksgiving in the US... Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because there is no stress or pressure, just lots of food, friends and family, nice drink, the smell of turkey and poultry seasoning, football (american), Christmas movies start, the turning on of the Christmas lights on the Riverwalk tomorrow. It is the start of the Christmas season.
There is no spending too much for things no one wants.. if an item of food doesn't turn out, there are loads of things that do. I've had years that I've had 30-35 for Thanksgiving dinner, including some years I've had basic training recruits to spend the day with us, to give them a chance to get out of the regimented intense training (been there/done that) and come let loose for a day with a family, because they couldn't be with their own.
I've had the privilege of sharing this day with many people through the years. Its an inclusive day, my favorite day, and now off to my daughter's..
Happy thanksgiving...
