Happy Day after Thanksgiving, everybody!!
Maybe I should write "Happy Leftover Day!" ;-) Did you all have splendiferous Thanksgivings? Do you have lots of interesting tales? One of the best parts of family holidays like this is the sheer number of stories that are vaulted into posterity each year. What stunts did YOUR family pull?
The biggest one for us this year is the fault of my father. He waltzed into the living room two nights ago (Well, not waltzed. My dad doesn't really do dancing) and announced that he had invited a guest to Thanksgiving dinner. The invited gentleman's wife was going to be out of town, so my dad asked him if would like to eat with us.
Oh, stop Awwwwing my dad. Let me tell you why this was, despite the initial appearance, a STUPID idea! Oh, I am not that heartless, stop judging me!!!!
Reason #1: Do not, after your wife and mother-in-law have spent the entire day cooking, tell her that you have spontaneously decided that she will have to find enough food for someone else. Do not TELL her these things. You may, most certainly, call before offering the invitation and make sure it is okay, but do not issue orders. People don't like orders.
Reason #2: Do NOT invite someone over that is disliked intensely by the rest of your family, no matter how much you like him!
We didn't think it was going to matter anyway, since he called and cancelled early in the day. Life went on as usual. None of us were mad at this poor guy....it wasn't his fault he was invited, so we couldn't really feel badly toward him....until he called in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner and said that he had changed his mind. Then my extremely sensitive father said, "Sure! Come on down."
We were thrilled. Once visitor arrived at our house, he promptly told us that his wife would be back in town shortly, he just didn't want to turn down a free meal.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA. He's got moxy, I'll give him that, but can you understand why he is not my favorite person? -)
My heart isn't really into blogging at the moment, I just wanted to write SOMETHING......maybe I'll give you a fun video to watch...
How about my FAVORITE Christmas commercial EVER! Holidays are comin', holidays are comin', holidays are comin'...

Hahaha, yes, it has been fun, Megan! I hope that I didn't give out the wrong impression! Thanksgivings that go off without a hitch are NOT the ones that get remembered. ;-)

Hahaha. You ARE blind, Tiffany! :-)
The problem wasn't with the guy (though I don
t like him personally), it was with my father inviting someone to dinner the day before without asking the rest of the family first. It was rude.
I DID have a problem with the guy when he cancelled on us Thanksgiving morning, then called us when he was already on his way to tell us he had changed his mind. THEN, he tells us that his wife IS going to be in town after all, he just came to our house to get free food.
Make more sense now?
