100 Confessions: Thanksgiving

(85) I have a Thanksgiving Ritual.

In the morning, I wake up and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Mimi and I always stay in town for Thanksgiving. We go everywhere else for other holidays--Thanksgiving is our holiday. We stay home and invite any friends that are in town to come join us. We make too much food (it allows for turkey sandwiches later in the week). And after we're done with our meal, we watch my favorite movie, (And the movie really should be a rite of passage between Thanksgiving and Christmas) It's a Wonderful Life.

Then we can begin listening to Christmas music publically. As in the case this year, I cheated the weekend before Thanksgiving, but you've really got to save 90% of the Christmas music until Christmastime otherwise you get tired of it before the end of the season. It's just math. There's only so much Frosty and Rudolph a man can take.

I thought this one was going to be how we can't look at each other during Thanksgiving prayer without laughing. Kinda disappointed.
