[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 612398, member: 13542"] That was a funny song Cedar! Yikes. I love the holidays too! I love the feeling of family, fun, food, festivities...........all of it. I love the music, the celebratory sense of gathering together for the purpose of sharing food, gifts, laughter.........I still get that anticipatory feeling, that sense of expectancy and awe as something magical evolves.......... I love Christmas Eve the most.........the lights on the tree, the smell of evergreen, cookies baking, all kinds of food around, the beautifully wrapped gifts, my granddaughter milling about, my SO, it just feels like we're in a bubble of warmth. This year for Thanksgiving my granddaughter's older sister and her husband, along with a very close friend and her mother are joining us. I invited my difficult child, I haven't heard from her so I am not sure she is coming. I'm making the turkey and stuffing, and everyone is bringing a dish........I make it easy on myself and everyone loves bringing their specialties. I really like Thanksgiving a lot, not as much as Christmas, but it's a good holiday, good memories. I start baking cookies a couple of weeks before Christmas.......we cut down a tree........my granddaughter decorates it........I make baked goodies for neighbors and friends........I love thinking about gifts that I know will bring a giant smile to a loved one's face...........I love breakfast on Christmas morning while we're all in our PJ's. There is a bit of a letdown I guess, but I can't recall giving that a lot of thought...............I love this time of year..........it feels good...........love is in the air........... [/QUOTE]
