Prompt: Holiday

suggested by Egyptian Home

"Are you looking forward to the next holiday? Why or why not?"

I AM looking forward to the next holiday.  Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving.  This has become my favorite holiday.  There are no gifts to exchange, there is no pressure to do things "just right," and for our family there is not a lot of people.  We have sort of made it a tradition to hang out with my parents on Thanksgiving, at their house with just the six of us.  We prepare a ham since my mom is allergic to poultry, but we also have turkey.  I'd even be okay with skipping the turkey.

Oh, and before you ask.... NO, I am NOT participating in Black Friday shopping.  Not on Thanksgiving afternoon, as many of the stores are promoting, and not on Friday, either.  I'm staying home and relaxing!
