I can't tell if we had Thanksgiving or not. In the Yes column:
- roast bird
- festive placemats and tablecloth
- succotash
- I had a glass of sherry
- American hubby called his parents.
- baked squash w/apple, raisin and walnut stuffing
- homemade dinner rolls
- brief religious "thank you" from child
- someone in the kitchen for hours in stations of chop, cook and clean
In the No column:
- no guests
- no turkey
- no heated political arguments or bloviation (see: "no guests")
But am I going to spend today? Yes. Although our car's battery out of juice, I walked over a mile to a used game electronics shop to serendipitously benefit in a buy-two, get-one-free sale, as my child was the only one for whom I have not purchased presents.
So My English Castle, instead of getting pepper-sprayed or squeezed to death between rampaging suburbanites, I got my exercise by walking downhill then uphill for two+ miles today.
And baselle, I am invited to an Oath of Office ceremony on Nov. 30 to watch the new school board members get sworn in.

I think I may hit the gym later myself.

I think you had Thanksgiving, a quiet one, but I think that's something in itself to be thankful for.
