I have decided (in my old age) that Thanksgiving is the superior holiday to Christmas.  Think about it, Thanksgiving is all the things Christmas is - without the presents.  And what are presents really?  Other than a pain in my ass and my pocketbook??

But T day - what isn’t there to like about it??

• awesome food
• family
• relaxation
• dessert
• full bellies
• games
• wine
• naps
• more wine
• and it’s T day for goodness sake

No running around stressed over what gift you are gonna get who and how you will get it, no debt, waiting in lines, juggling time - just togetherness - and rocky road brownies.

I thought about doing the dorky thing and coming up with a list of things I am thankful for - but I would ultimately forget things (see wine twice on above list).  So instead, I’d like to share the one thing that made me the most happy over the past 24 hours.

I am most happy that I spawned a child that wrote me a letter like this:

It is a  beautiful thing.

And so are these
