And well, I could always count on Thanksgiving being the no drama, be safe at moms and good stuffing sort of holiday. I don't want to go and I'm getting grief for it. I confess I feel like a brat for it.

There is nothing worse than a situation like this. However, BurtonsSeattleSally is correct. As difficult as it may be, it's time to have Thanksgiving your way. Maybe a stop by later in the day for dessert there would be enough.

There are a select group of my siblings that tend to "run the show" and everyone goes along. I've fought it my whole life so far, and I confess I'm tired of fighting. I did convince my mom that we should make a turkey the day before so we can have leftovers. So, I'll have MY thanksgiving then and just go to play with my nieces and nephews the next day. But I will bring my own car and maybe go see "Sally" later that day unless she has other plans

Originally Posted By friendofdd I confess the holiday week-end started early at DL. Today was quite crowded. I expect tomorrow to be much worse due to the start of the Christmas activities. My eldest daughter is visiting us and DW and I are determined to spoil her while she is here for a few days. I had the good fortune to run into Disneygurl today. Sadly, she was loading BTM and I had a train to catch so we couldn't chat. But we hugged and I am happy I saw her.

One of my dreams since childhood is to be stuck in a cabin somewhere for Christmas. I can picture the fireplace, the rocking chair with cozy blanket, decorations and presents, lots of hot chocolate, board games and good books lying around... old fashioned and romantic. Someday!

She has a knack for holiday deliveries. Congratulations to Kellee, Chris and Nick to their and our new family member. It's been a long wait.

Originally Posted By Ursula I confess that I was disappointed at DL today. I had wanted to do our usual "start the season" ritual as of late...but the crowds scared us away. Since it started snowing in Anaheim, the Husband and I would spend the day shopping and looking at decorations and finish the day oohing and awwwing at the fireworks and snow. I was looking forward to it all week, too.

I am enjoying the music. The fact that it is irritating to him is just a bennie.
