That's a great idea. Some romantic time w/out the kids is just what the pastor would order.

Of course, that could add to the...
...oh never mind...

Peace of the Lord be with you.

My daughters birthday is the 27th, so we try to combine the holidays in to one venture. When she's older that wont be as possible but for now it's a great excuse for family to come to town.

My In-Laws who reside outside of Buffalo usually drive down for the week. Sadly this may be their last time to do so, as they are not getting any younger and with various health problems (both in their mid 70's).

My mother comes up from Arkansas as does my Step Dad. We usually have it at our house in Missouri.

Every year my mom makes the Turkey and I make a bourbon and brown sugar ham. The recipe is my own. My wife makes a big birthday and Thanksgiving cake.

My daughters request for her birthday is always the same: the family puts up the Christmas tree while we are all together.

So Thanksgiving for us becomes a multiple holiday celebration in the course of three days.

It's a grand time. My Father - In Law and I spent evenings and mornings on the porch with cigars, coffee or cigars and Sam Adams. My daughter works on sculptures with my mother in law and chooses the colors of her cake.

It's a lot like Thanksgiving from when I was a boy, a large family gathering, but we have scattered to the winds now.

Still, probably my favorite time of year.

My only real tradition is that I roast a duck, not a turkey.
