Honestly, this old bag doesn't like holidays except to see out of town family.  All the food,, football, parades and what not do nothing for me.

   I'm with ya there @Applewood I don't like Holidays and am not looking forward to this one I am about to embark on. I Love my Family but see them often enough anyway.  The Trumpers (all of them) use this opportunity to gang up on the only one that refused to vote for him~Me.  I get enough of that here. Every morning that my feet hit the floor is a Birthday so I don't celebrate that either.

Our family dynamic has totally changed since dad's death last year.

We are going to some fancy schamncy restaurant  with a fixed price special dinner menu, sans wine, which I don't like since I'm a diner gal.

So I'll have to get dressed up, which is another thing I don't like, I'm blue jeans and plain t shirts, and I can't really talk so it's desultory conversation.

Then I'll go home, make myself an egg, a glass of milk, and go to bed

I like the desert the best.

In fact there is a saying, which both my wife and I subscribe to: 

"Eat the Desert First; Life is Too Short."

Practicing what I preach, I just had "Blueberry Pound Cake" for Thanksgiving breakfast.

Next a two hour walk by the ocean, in 75F clear sunny, then

Dinner with my wife, mother, my sister, and sister in law.

Then finally another Desert !!
