My kids have been singing a "Turkey Time" song and it's stuck in my head. We try to keep our traditions alive as best we can during the holidays, but we have a lot of traditions we have broken over the years due to our many moves. I think the one tradition we have kept has been going strong for 12 years now. We spent our first Thanksgiving together while we were dating, and ever since then we have not spent a single one with the same people. We have spent it with random family members (it's been 7 years since we had it with any family), various friends, alone, and at restaurants. Let's see how long we can keep it going.
We've had a great weekend so far. I think every week should have 4 day weekends. We've gotten a lot done around the house and managed to have fun. Something we started last year was this tree. Throughout the month we added things we are thankful for.
The kids have been dying to rake up the leaves with Josh. They spent hours raking and playing in the enormous pile. We get a lot of leaves from our neighbor's trees.
We broke out the Christmas decorations and went to cut down our tree. We can't figure out if Josh isn't allergic to any of the tree types, so we just got the same as last year and put it in a different room. We don't get to see it as much, it's not by the fire, and it overpowers the room it's in, but he's not suffering like last year, so we'll make do. Maybe we'll go back to a fake one someday. We also went to the movies, our tradtion since I was pregnant with Sidney.
