11/26/15 Thanksgiving Day?

    Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers, may you all be surrounded by loved ones and feastly smells.  This is an American holiday, don't even try to kid yourself.  We make enough food for fifty to serve 10-12, we buy enough pies that each person in the house could eat one by themselves, and there will be apple pie because "it is as American as apple pie, dammit!!!"  And don't forget we're celebrating 'Merica!
    Just kidding, Thanksgiving is a good starting point to the Christmas season, and of course how much do you love me?  Buy me that much then.  Our boys do very well traditionally during Christmas, but we may be coming to the end of the line.  Chubs had a hard time even picking out a couple nice birthday gifts this past weekend.  Boy is already asking for money, which pisses me off because I prefer giving gifts, but oh well.  Wife already set up our tree to show we are not messing around this holiday.  We kind of dropped the ball during Halloween, so we want to make sure we really celebrate Christmas right.  I am a little depressed by our tree, it looks a little derpy with the oversized outdoor lights which I can count at about fifty.  This christmas tree started out with its own regal clear lights, but the tree is now about five or six years old.  Last year Wife wrapped extra clear lights as most of the trees original lights started going out.  This year Wife just grabbed the first string of lights and it was not a good decision.  I might make a call and kill this tree and get a new one.
    But back to Thanksgiving, we have two turkeys and two hams coming via my inlaws.  Wife's older sister has been making the stuffing for a couple years and that really takes awhile, as they cut everything into tiny sizes without a blender.  For our part, we bring the desserts since I am so picky and will complain if something isn't right.  We'll probably make a run to Central Market on Wednesday afternoon.
    The only thing that could make it better was if the Longhorns were better.  Week in and week out I see other Big 12 schools doing just fine with their 3rd string sophomore quarterback replacing a freshman second stringer(Baylor) and on and on.  But that is why we watch, hopefully they can show they are getting better.
