[QUOTE="DDD, post: 612491, member: 35"] This is the first time since 1960 that I am not hosting Thanksgiving nor am I decorating etc. for Christmas. husband and I are, however, traveling to easy child son's for Thanksgiving. We have [B]never[/B] been invited to his home before AND daughter in law [I]still after 25 years[/I] doesn't "cook". LOL! I told her Publix and other big grocery stores will cook it, bag it and all you have to do is put it on the table. She is not INTO family activity (understatement!) [B]but[/B] their college age daughter has alot of genes from my family.......she is the one who asked if we could drive to their house and "she" would cook. I doubt it but think it's cute. I feel sad that I won't have all the anticipation and excitement and wonderful aromas in my house for either holiday. I grew up with holiday happiness. I provided holiday happiness. The "children" cherish the memories of their happy holidays (without alot of presents of value by the way) but evidently they don't want to replicate the holidays of their childhood and my childhood. Too much work, I guess. I'm sure I'll have moments of being sad but 71 years of Happy holidays is more than my fair share. DDD:bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
