CPW: Favorite holiday

Re: CPW: Favorite holiday

    Totally Thanksgiving!  I am so pumped for this year since I mostly missed it last year. I came home from the hospital on Thanksgiving Day. And NO ONE brought me any damn leftovers. I know they had them because no one made it to dinner at my inlaws because there was a snow storm.

    The hospital Thanksgiving meal was horrendous. DH got us dinner at Boston Market, but they were out of gravy by the time he got there 4 minutes before they closed. I did get a good turkey dinner at a local restaurant a month or two later, but it just wasn't the same. I cannot wait for dinner this year!!

    It's such a toss up between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The grown up/adult(ish) side of me says Thanksgiving, but the child in me is all about Christmas.  Now that we have kids that actually get the excitement and mystery of Christmas, I think the scale tips in that direction.

    I voted for Thanksgiving (big feast that I don't have to cook and 4 day weekend ~ sign me up!). 

    It used to be Christmas when I was younger, but now that I have in-laws and I'm a parent, it's just so stressful.  I'm trying to change that, but it's still hard.

    Halloween, mostly because it's a kickoff to what I deem "the holiday season".

    I have very fond memories from my childhood of Thanksgiving and now that C's birthday is so close (and will be on Thanksgiving when he's 5), it is definitely still Thanksgiving. 

    I love Christmas, but when I was a kid, we had so many places to go, it was such a pain.  Now I have my ILs to entertain and that alone makes me annoyed at Christmas time.
