What is it about snow that makes me think of the Holidays?

I realized this morning as I drove into work that, even though I despise winter, seeing snow actually helps cheer me up a little bit. And I think the reason for that is because, when I see the first falls of clean wet snow smooth over the autumn grass and highlight every tiny branch on the trees, a part of me knows Christmas is on its way.

Traditional Thanksgiving stuffing really is kind of gross when you think about it – all those entrails and whatnot. But I sure do love the taste.

Well, it finally happened. I’ll be spending Thanksgiving with family, but not my own. This will be my first turkey day with my girlfriend’s clan.
