Thanksgiving Dinner
Every year, we always want to have Thanksgiving at our house. Every year, except one, it’s never happened. I don’t know why, it’s not like I’m a bad cook or anything. Just once, I’d like to be able to stay home for Thanksgiving.
The one year we did have dinner at our house, I had everyone bring 2 things. Whoever was supposed to bring rolls forgot (no one claimed responsibility). We ended up having sliced bread. Now if we have something at our house, I never dole out the important things.
We’ve been doing the same thing for the past probably 10 years. We always have all the same things. I always have to bring homemade cranberry sauce and an apple pie. I know it’s Thanksgiving and it’s all about tradition but sometimes you need to shake things up a bit.
Also, we start eating before noon. When we get home at around 5 or 6 PM, the kids are hungry and I have to make them something to eat.
Maybe next year I tell myself, maybe next year.
