Thanksgiving Tag
I was tagged by Melissa so I can’t let her down.
1. Did you go elsewhere for the day, or did you have visitors at your place instead? How was it?
Mark and I traveled to IL for Thanksgiving Day; everyone from his mom’s side came to his parent’s house. It was nice we got to spend most of the day with them and Mark’s brother John then enjoyed the company of the Rechile family later that evening.
2. Main course: If it was the turkey, the whole turkey, and nothing but the turkey, was it prepared in an unusual way? Or did you throw tradition to the winds and do something different?
Luther cooked both turkey and ham the good ole traditional way. We had a ton of food and didn’t even really make a dent in it all.
3. Other than the meal, do you have any Thanksgiving customs that you observe every year?
I used to help out every Thanksgiving at my old church, serving and delivering Thanksgiving dinners to people around Jeff City, but since I’ve been with Mark I’ve not been in Jeff for actual Thanksgiving Day.
4. The day after Thanksgiving is considered a major Christmas shopping day by most US retailers. Do you go out bargain hunting and shop ‘till you drop or do you stay indoors with the blinds closed? Or something in between?
I’m not a Black Friday shopper at all! I try not even to get to the stores over that whole weekend if at all possible. It’s been good being in IL the last three years because the closest store is at least 30 min away so it’s totally not worth it to get up and travel to the mess.
5. Let the HOLIDAY SEASON commence! When will your Christmas decorations go up?
Well this is Mark and my’s first Christmas with a home so we’re defiantly decorating. Since we weren’t home over the weekend after Thanksgiving we put some of them up on Monday and are slowly putting stuff up in the house over the week. Being that it’s the first Christmas in a house were kind of adding stuff as we go along.
