Thanksgiving, the holiday that gotten eaten alive.

[Honeycombe8]

53. None of my family lives in my state. I ALWAYS celebrate Thanksgiving...alone.

No, it's not sad. Because it's by choice. It's my favorite day of the year!

I make it a special day, just for me and my doggies.

I cook a Thanksgiving dinner for me and my dogs. I watch part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And I watch old movies on TCM (or...this year the CHILL network is having horror movies all day, like "Franksgiving!&quot I may do a couple of things I feel like doing, like a minor home project or some online shopping (for things I NEED or maybe for Christmas gifts, but I don't buy many of those).

I don't usually hit the Black Friday sales. Too crowded. If I want to get something on holiday sale, I'll do Cyber Monday (BUT IT IS FOR SOMETHING I WAS GOING TO GET, ANYWAY! I try not to let the stores tell ME what to buy.)

It's a great time! I get four days off work in a row. It's glorious, the weather is great, my maple tree is in full autumn color, my dogs are frisky. I take the dogs for a long walk on Thanksgiving. We go to sleep early, all fat and happy.

Love it.
