Thanksgiving should be every day!


Well, you're not going to believe this one. The girl who writes hand-written thank you notes and prides herself on thanking everyone at least twice... doesn't like Thanksgiving.

I don't like gravy. I don't like stuffing. I don't like cranberry sauce. I like turkey... sliced thin on a sandwich. Not in the shape of a bird.

I do like saying thank you, which is why I've always thought that Thanksgiving should be every day!

I'm not the only one. My baby sister doesn't like Thanksgiving either!

Truth be told, I think we would both much rather have a Thanksgiving feast Snoopy style, with popcorn, pretzels and jelly beans!


Damn you, Peppermint Patty. You are so ungrateful.

But, our family insists on a traditional meal, so we will live vicariously through the Peanuts gang as we watch and giggle.

This year I am thankful for good family, good friends, and of course, good readers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, are we twins? I don't like gravy, stuffing, or cranberry sauce either! Or turkey for that matter, unless it's on a cold sandwich too. And in the spirit of thanksgiving, I am here to say, "THANK YOU!!!" again for hosting me! :) Love you!
