Alternative holidays

Had a Thanksgiving feast with about 20 relatives at the Statesboro Inn. Maybe I sat in the same chair as W when he visited a few weeks ago! Eating at a restaurant vs. cooking & cleaning definitely reduces the stress of the day. My cousin who lives in Wales was home for Thanksgiving but will not be back for Christmas, so her immediate family put up a Christmas tree and decorated it on Thanksgiving day. My mom & aunt didn't go that far, but we did exchange presents since I won't be in GA for Christmas. Wrapping gifts in Nov. was a little odd. But I suppose presents are nice any time of year!
