We only have one week to go until Thanksgiving! I can hardly believe it. Time just seems to pass so quickly these days.
Since we have been married, Jason and I have always had Thanksgiving dinner at our own house. We never live close enough and Jason never gets enough time off to go home for Thanksgiving, and honestly, that is just fine with me. We have so much family that Christmas is always so hectic because we have to spend time at so many different places. So I like having one big holiday that we can just relax and enjoy. Plus I love having a reason to cook a big meal :) And it is fun when we are able to have our friends over.
But our Thanksgivings havent always been so traditional. The year before we were married, Jason was still in Chicago after boot camp, so my sister and I drove up there to visit him during our Thanksgiving break. We had Thanksgiving dinner in a pizzeria. The year before that, Jason and I were in Amsterdam visiting some friends. We spent Thanksgiving night watching Harry Potter (with Dutch subtitles, a week before it came out in America! ha) and ate dinner at a KFC. It was the closest we could come to a turkey dinner!
What are your best Thanksgiving memories or traditions?
