I love Thanksgiving! I must admit that I love it even more now that we do not have to drive twelve hours to celebrate it! We made the 221 (as opposed to the usual 680) mile drive to Knoxville last week and celebrated with my family. We spent Thanksgiving Day eating way too much food and enjoying family. I had not seen my brother Wes since he moved to Colorado a year and a half ago, so I loved seeing him again. He brought his "special friend" Rebekah home with him, and we enjoyed meeting her. I think that she is a keeper!
The day after Thanksgiving (aka Black Friday), Mom and I hit Kohl's at 4:00 A.M. It was ridiculously early, but I loved it. We spent the day shopping, waiting in line, yawning, finding great deals, and enjoying each other's company. It is the one day of the year that Mom and I can go out and not worry about how long we stay. Mark took the children to his mom's house, so I was free from responsibility for the day. We finished up our shopping around 5:30 P.M. We were exhausted, but happy. I know that many people can not fathom why anyone would want to shop that day, but it is a tradition that I cherish!
