nephirThanksgiving was a wonderful day… the Eldest Spawn and I cooked like mad women while the Youngest Spawn kibitzed and kept us entertained with reading from the current issue of Cosmo.
We turned off all the computers *tgsp!* and closed the TV cabinet and devoted the day to talking and listening to music. It’s nice when it happens. Between the cleaning of the house and cooking we were quite busy.
For dinner we roasted a 15 lb. turkey, and baked a 5 lb. ham with a cinnamon/clove/nutmeg apple glaze. It was sooooo yummy. We also had fresh cranberry sauce, canberry sauce, baked yams, candied yams (for the Middle Spawn special), mashed potatoes, stuffing, relish trays, rolls, green bean casserole, and apples & onions.
Wednesday I baked an apple pie, a pumpkin pie and two pecan pies for dessert.
We had all the Spawn home, and the Middle one brought her Boy with her. We also had Youngest Spawns BFF from grade school and her on again off again Boy over for dinner.
After dinner SJ and BJ swung by and had pie with us.
So the only question was whether or not we’d get up early and hit the stores for the early sales but there really is nothing on sale that I’d really buy as a gift for any of my family or friends. The only place that may get my business is one of the bookstores.
I have to think twice about a store that can take an item and put it on sale for 60+% off and still make a profit is ripping me off somewhere.
