Extended holiday
I decided to take tomorrow off work, so my Thanksgiving holiday started today around 3pm, when I wrapped up at the office and took a late lunch. Things have been busy lately, so it'll be nice to get a bit more of a break than I have in awhile.
Not a total break, though, because my social calendar for the entire five day weekend got pretty booked up. This has been typical for Thanksgiving weekend over the last few years; I don't mind, because Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holiday. But this year it seems even busier than usual. Tomorrow we have friends coming up to the city for a museum visit and dinner. On Thanksgiving Day, our friend D invited us and some other friends to eat with her family at a Brazilian steakhouse, which while not traditional American Thanksgiving cuisine certainly seems to be in the spirit of a large, bountiful meal. My family gathering is on Friday in Santa Rosa, as had been usual in recent years -- my cousins L and M have decided they like hosting, but they have other family obligations on the official holiday. Saturday is the big traditional Friendsgiving hosted by R & S, and this year I'm going to go over early to help with the cooking. Finally, on Sunday I'm probably doing a craft show with D.
So, that's a lot. But it's a good a lot. I'm looking forward to it.
