When I lived in California, the travel to Ariz wasn't so bad (although flying America West or Southwest is always a nightmare for me), and it was the perfect amount of time for a visit. Since I moved east five years ago, I've only gone home on a ticket I paid for once. Paying $400 to fly cross-country with everyone else two times in five days? No thank you.
But other than that, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Or it was, when my great-aunt Agnes cooked, before she turned like 80 and said no more. And every year we had crudites and shrimp and egg nog while we waited to eat. I miss
that
Thanksgiving.
mmmm.... egg nog. We have grandma's reciepe...
Egg nog is for christmas! Stop that!
So far, Thanksgiving means turkey and stuffing for me. But so does Marie Callendar. I'm working on refining my stance.
Egg Nog is for whenever the stores start stocking it.
For instance, I have had egg nog every night for the past week.
Egg nog, like Christmas music, is good from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.

Don't get me started on the Christmas music hateration.
Also, egg nog should not be bought in stores.
Being a purist is very tiring, but I'm gonna do it anyway.
I'd strech that til about january 6th or whenever the tree comes down , whichever is later.

I adore Christmas music with a kind of unholy passion (and the irony is not lost on me). But, I only allow myself to listen to it from T'giving to New Year's Day. It's a thing.
The 6th! The last day of Christmas!

I only buy the stuff that is in the glass dairy bottles. SO GOOD.
