You may be with a large group of family or friends at a home for an elegant sit down dinner. You may be with this same group for a more casual homey pot luck/pitch in affair. You may go to Hometown Buffet for a massive dinner including drinks for under ten dollars or to a 4 star hotel for a grand buffet for $39.95 per head (beverages extra).
Ours are usually the first example, but each year as we count our blessings, we remind ourselves that it's not the meal or the setting that's most important, and should we need to go the Hometown Buffet way, we'd still be thankful for what we have and who we are and mostly for being together.
That's right Billie....Thanksgiving is such a lovely family holiday. Unfortunately we'll be by ourselves. We will go out to a cafeteria--one that has really good food....and the best homemade pies. Yum.
