It seems odd that on a day devoted to being thankful for our bounteous blessings we wear ourselves out to cook a dinner for people we don't much enjoy being around, stressing ourselves to the max and not being much thankful for anything at all.
Thanksgiving was always a day to be with my husband's family, and that was fine. They were lovely people. They're all gone now. And I think the best way I can spend the national day of thanks is to spend it in a loving and reverent way with the people I love and feel grateful for.
Maybe it's selfish. But there it is.
I'll save my stress for Christmas.
