I still love to steal pieces of turkey skin, since my husband or son do the carving. Best part of the meal!
What Bev said! Also, we start watching Christmas movies on Thanksgiving night. "It's a Beautiful Life" and "The Bishop's Wife'.
An "Attitude of Gratitude". Wonderful wish for the next generation.
Enjoy your holiday, Miss Kwizgiver. You are always in my thoughts.
ps, I am stealing your little book woman on the side bar. Merry merry!
