I had such a great weekend this Holiday, I have an idea to throw out there. What if we claimed Thanksgiving weekend for the family Holiday? Pretty much everyone has friday off, better weather (usually) for travel. The days never change, always Thursday so we can plan in advance, unlike which day is Christmas on? We could arrange for one of those crazy shopping trips if we wanted, or not. We could rent a big place somewhere for the weekend, north or souath (cape, Rhode Island), or not. Not so crazed! We could actually plan activities, or not. I have been thinking about; facials or massages. Everyone gathering & writing out our Christmas cards, renting movies, doing puzzles, catching a show in Boston, or not. Most of the kids are old enough to plan things for themselves & with us. Some even have licenses & cars! We could go the Cod one night, or not. Think about it, not just in the context of next year, but as a tradition. As family members move or move on, they can always plan on that one weekend a year.
I like it!
PS(also a good thought was posting wish lists on blog....Becca your 16th is coming up!)
