It started when he became interested in rockets we found at a toy store near our house in VT. There we would frequently lose the rockets to trees. Now we are in TX and there are more wide open spaces. They shoot up several hundred feet and are fun to watch. And the week before Thanksgiving we donate food and help get food boxes ready to be delivered. We launch a rocket on Thanksgiving, or my boy does with many spectators.

Which is a tradition, and it's wonderful in its own way. When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of the Thanksgiving parade in the background, of all the good smells coming out of the kitchen...the waiting! This year it's going to be different because we're celebrating it at my house...yikes! My grandma is bringing the pies and dressing, we're grilling a turkey breast, I'll be whisking up casseroles and salads. (You can't have a proper Southern Thanksgiving without sweet potato casserole...) My brother and his new wife won't be with us...today they're delivering Thanksgiving meals with the United Way. They're making their own tradition. Which, FINE...but Thanksgiving really is about being together. Yeah, it’s kinda all about the food. Which is a tradition, and it’s wonderful in its own way.

One of my best holiday memories is of a couple of years ago when a circle of friends spent Thanksgiving afternoon on our living room floor playing Dutch Blitz and laughing together. I think the holiday is a perfect excuse to forget about responsibilities (paper plates, anyone?) and have fun with the people we're most thankful for. I'm looking forward to seeing how Thanksgiving inspiration hits you! Games and puzzles are my favorite part of Thanksgiving as well.
