I...I love the food and the Black Friday shopping! <br /><br />I don't like.... hmmmmm.... Oh! I don't like that the kids always eat too much and then are tired and cranky and inevitably have a meltdown, and I have to deal with them, when I really just want to sit down with a glass of wine!

We both have large families so it was hard trying to get everyone in until we decided we would just rotate and spend one year with his family and one year with mine. It's worked out but means we have to neglect one family every year. <br /><br />And same thing for the Christmas tree! It has caused some crazy arguments in our house but mostly because we have a crappy tree that is a pain in the butt to put up!

A few years ago we had to tell our families that we just couldn't do two Thanksgiving meals in one day anymore :(, so now we switch up every year...much easier, but still hard to see everyone we want to see when we are in town. The meal is too good...I look forward to it every year, but stuff myself silly and don't feel so great afterwards :) <br /><br />I do love me some Black Friday shopping though...it's one of my only days with my momma and we honestly don't get much shopping done, but we laugh and just enjoy one another and our time! <br /><br />I also remember as a kid watching It's a Wonderful Life on Thanksgiving Day...we are so busy now, I wouldn't even know if it was on, but that was a good memory :) Happy Thanksgiving to you friend...hugs!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337898387903659581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-56871319924462117862014-11-18T13:42:16.857-05:002014-11-18T13:42:16.857-05:00Being with my family ranks at the top of my "...Being with my family ranks at the top of my "What I Love About Thanksgiving" list.

This year will be a little tough without Alyssa (she used all her vacation days on being sick) though....we will just be skyping her in!! Making my grandmother's yeast rolls without her just won't be the same however. <br /><br />I love the time with family, remembering all we are thankful for, playing games, and just enjoying each other. <br /><br />I have moved on from black friday...my favorite now is Cyber Monday!! :)sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16558961544260341038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-28330773389985636782014-11-18T08:59:28.224-05:002014-11-18T08:59:28.224-05:00Loved this!!

The highlight of the holiday for me is the FOOD and then the food/nap/coma that comes after :) I also love Black Friday shopping but it's really disappointing that some stores are opening up on Thanksgiving now. While I'll miss the best doorbusters and sales, I'll probably still stick to going out at 3am!Katie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068822747732504872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-19246312174166776302014-11-18T08:35:02.113-05:002014-11-18T08:35:02.113-05:00What a fun post!!!

So, personally, I'd just like to skip the whole thing this year.<br /><br />Now as for black Friday shopping. I'm not really interested in it, but the past 2 years I've gone late Thursday night with a friend from work when she took her teenage daughters. We would just sit in the mall and talk and watch them as they shopped. It was fun watching all the crazy people and just being with a friend. However, that being said she has to work this year. So, again, I'm all about just forgetting it this year.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.com
