Once again Thanksgiving was filled with laughter as my daughter and granddaughters entertained with Thanksgiving with Holiday Icons. It was written by my eldest granddaughter and my role was the grandmother. Apparently, I don’t take direction well, so I think I will be sent to the audience next year.

We have been performing a skit for about five or six years, so it has become a tradition. I wrote the first ones but the granddaughters began writing the skits three years ago. I’m allowed to give ideas, but the script is theirs. It’s fun and it certainly creates memories. It also helps that I have lots of costumes in my house!

Our dinner was delicious and there are lots of leftovers. I keep saying I’m going to make less, but that doesn’t happen. It’s the only time a year we have turkey and I tend to go overboard. We have a beef roast at Christmas so Thanksgiving is the only day we eat turkey, dressing and cranberry salad. My mom used to make a Thanksgiving dinner in the summer because she said once a year wasn’t enough. We didn’t have air conditioning and eating a big turkey dinner in the summer just isn’t the same. We also didn’t have a dish washer so cleaning up was not fun. Memories!

Since Thanksgiving is over, I can now begin decorating for Christmas. I know many have already put up trees, but I wait. I think each holiday deserves its time. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I’d love to hear some of your holiday traditions!
