I’m not cooking this year and I’m pretty excited. I’ve made a turkey every year since we got married...I make enough to feed a city..and I don’t even like turkey..I love to cook but the cleanup is a nightmare..I go to bed exhausted..My son and daughter in law always have Thanksgiving with her family..and I get Christmas Eve and Christmas because my daughter in law (and grandson now) are Jewish. My daughter in law loves to celebrate with us at Christmas..I was very worried about doing the right thing for her in the beginning respecting her faith..but she told me many times she really loves to come to our house for Christmas..She wants presents from Santa and loves to cook with me..We have the best time..So..Thanksgiving it’s always me cooking this huge turkey for four people because my husband and I only eat the white meat. I got this picture in my head that I’ll be making this turkey until my nineties! I want a holiday off! I told my husband I was on strike and I want someone else to cook for me on Thanksgiving..so we’re going to a restaurant!
