I just posted my weekly article, which covers my perspective on the holidays and family gatherings. What do your holiday gatherings look like? Do you spend the holidays with family? Friends? Alone?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Diane:

Right now alone.

The next holiday will be hopefully with my man & our dog (lol).

I am away working a "temporary" gig but hope to be home for Christmas and his birthday.

If you don't mind me asking - how did you spend your's?

GREAT post.....

And you know the routine, just IGNORE my question if you don't want to answer

Hey Angela. Thanksgiving was awesome. My son and his family came to my house. They live in another state. My daughter came from a nearby city, and my husband's sister and her husband came from out of state. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and my most favorite meal to cook. I just love it when I can have a house full of people. A local serviceman was invited, but changed his mind. He probably thought he would feel funny, but we would have made him feel at home. Some people are just shy about joining a strange family.

I'm not sure yet about our Christmas celebration, but I know whatever we do it will be awesome too.

Thanks for writing!

Diane

Hi Diane:

Glad you had a SPECIAL holiday - way to go

With family and friends - and if not, then with my best pal and writing partner, Quincy (See my Bio)!
