What I am thankful for... not having the big family dinner here!
We have an established routine - Thanksgiving is at the "lodge" (up north); Christmas Eve is at one of my sister-in-law's place, Christmas dinner at the other SIL, then New Year's Day at our house. By that time I've actually had a little time to clean the house and the Xmas decorations are still up... and then we sometimes also do Super Bowl Sunday as a potluck appetizer kind of thing here - no one actually watches much of the football, we just eat (and drink), kind of an indoor tailgate party!
