remember that song? christmas is coming. this time of year is my most favorite. but the greatest beginning part of this time of year, that so perfectly ushers in the advent season, is so overlooked. the turkey. thanksgiving is so special. there's something about gathering together for a gigantic meal with loved ones that makes me ooze thankfulness. my heart wells up at the sight of a thanksgiving dinner spread, hearing football in the background and all things pumpkin, cinnamon and spice. it's the mark of even greater times to be had all december month long. in my family, 3 celebrated november birthdays is even more added fun! jeremy and i decided that when we got married, we would put good use to our fine china. so we christened it with a thanksgiving feast in our first home.
a cornucopia graced the table at jeremy's request
our china anxiously awaiting to be doused in turkey, dressing and lots of gravy
we had about 14 of our closest friends over to share.
so as much as i love seeing the beautiful christmas decorations coming up in all the store windows and malls, i love even more the approaching best food of the year holiday that is thanksgiving.
yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year.
