Holiday Dilemmas
Well I love the holidays, but I also detest them. There are so many expectations, traditions and personalities to balance. So two of the kids won’t be here, but two will be. One wants an old-fashioned Thanksgiving in which we make the traditional turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy…the works. The other wants an old-fashioned Thanksgiving in which we all gather at some elderly relatives place, dish-to-pass in hand, and hours of eating and kibitzing. I am happy to do either, if they will just decide. So I told the youngest to call the oldest and they can let me know. I’ve got the turkey ready to pull out of the freezer, and my list with all the accoutrements for a fine feast in my purse, if that’s their decision. And I’m also checking out all the great recipes on the internet to create a scrumptious dish-to-pass. Hey, I wouldn’t want to disappoint all the old aunts.
