I love seeing my family and spending time with people I care about. I love the stress of it and the break from routine, the familial nosiness, seeing how everyone has changed over the intervening year. I love to see everyone laughing and teasing each other, my aunts and grandmother baking and cooking, and on the other side of my family, my dad and uncle cooking and roasting. I love playing dominos, drinking coffee, and watching movies, everyone packed in like sardines.
To everyone within shouting distance, have a Happy Thanksgiving. Spend time with your tribe.
You too! My mom and bro are flying out here to visit us in CA. We’re going to Sonoma this weekend so we’ll have a super-fun smashed holiday weekend! Whooogonnapartyonwithmymom! The cats will cower in fear.
