I love this post and a peek into your traditions! Our Christmas traditions are more consistent, but we do like to switch it up on Thanksgiving, which works for us. None of us particularly like Thanksgiving food (except for the dessert, of course) so we tend to do a comfort food type entree and then our kids each pick a dessert to make.

This year, we're having enchiladas, Spanish rice, and two types of pie, which makes me laugh out loud even as I type it. BUT! We like it--and we keep Thanksgiving to our immediate family of four so it is definitely easier to be weirdos.😂

This has been a tough year for me--things become easier when I make a conscious effort to focus on the "I have..." list. So glad I found your newsletter.
