I love this time of year. The colors, the changing temperatures and especially the holidays. Halloween was fun this year. Four times I answered the door and heard, "Mrs Hughes!" from behind masks. They got the good candy. ;) Our school has wonderful traditions like Grandparent's Day and Turkey Bowl. And tomorrow I get to enjoy my favorite holiday of the year: Thanksgiving. It's the one time of year that everyone gets together to fellowship and catch up. We take walks, play games, and wake up at ungodly hours to go shopping. The nice thing, though, is that there really isn't any pressure tradition-wise. There are so many people in the mix now, and everyone literally brings a little something to the table. It's a come one, come all venture, and there's always someone new to get to know, some new food to try. Of course there is the traditional fare: the turkey and stuffing, gravy and fixin's, but there are also the new things and new people. The only thing to count on at Thanksgiving is that it's going to be different.
That's a good tradition to have, I think. We're too big to try and stay the same!
