Okay, so it's taken me well over a week to write this one. It's been a busy week, what with Pathfinders, board meeting, Jr/Sr Banquet, College Fair, and a special project to send care packages to a unit in Afganistan. Oh yeah, and taking the SAT and the approaching Christmas program. . . you get the picture. Busy, busy, busy. It'll slow down eventually.
Thanks to how tired I was from studying the night before, I don't remember much about Thanksgiving Day. There was some excellent food--holiday roast, cranberry jello, freshly mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans--and I remember having a great time just being with my relatives, talking with them. That's what the Thanksgiving holiday is all about, right? Being with family and sharing in thankfulness.
The next day we went to Walmart to get some essential items, and it was amazing to see the sales and swarms of people flooding all the stores. When we got back to my great-grandmother's house, we took a walk. Oh, the glorious colors of the leaves! We also saw quite a few deer. The sight of those animals moving is awe-inspiring--they have a certain grace hard to find in other species.
We shared a meal, then left.
Anyway, since then it's been just one thing right after another. Christmas is coming! I hope you're all starting to get into the holiday spirit; I know it makes me cheerful.
