Firstly, I'm thankful to God for providing. I'm thankful for my wife and son. I'm thankful for the roof over my head and having a fantastic landlord who understands our situation and has gone above and beyond any time we needed something taken care of.
I'm the oddball that prefers ham over turkey on these holidays. Nothing against turkey, it's just most people (my wife included) way overcook it and turn it into a dry mess that needs to swim in gravy to be tasty. Also love some genuinely homemade cornbread stuffing. This year, though, we chose to buy our Thanksgiving dinner from a local small business diner that was doing $20 full meals. It was a ton of food, all very tasty. We'll do our usual home cooking for Christmas this year.
On one hand I get a bit depressed since I don't have family to spend the holidays with. On the other hand, however, I think back to all the big family get togethers we used to have when I was a kid (my father's side of the family was pretty big), and how the day would always start out so well but then end in complete shambles as someone was inevitably angry at someone else. Then I'm kinda glad it's just my wife, son and I.
