Tis The Start Of The Holiday Season

Today is Thanksgivings (in the United States anyway).  To me it is the official start of the holiday season.  The is probably one of my favorite times of the year.  There is always something in the air ... cheery ... hopeful ... heart warming.  I also have a liking for Christmas music.  Earlier this week our Christmas cactus decided to announce the holiday season a few days early.  I guess this makes it official.

This is the first year in seventeen that The Wife and I have spent Thanksgiving apart.  She is at her parents making Thanksgiving dinner.  She will be staying with her parents a few days helping out.  I will be having Thanksgiving dinner at my Mom's and keeping his silliness (Iago) company.  I may even go to see the Holiday Lights Festival tonight.  I've been meaning to do it for a while but I've never had the chance before.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
