Holiday Happiness or Hell? Post your story!

Posted at 1:54 pm under Family & Parenting

I enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving! Check out my slideshow:

You can also view the album with the titles and descriptions about who everyone is via my flickr album.  I hope you had as much fun and yummy food as I did!

I know that all the preparation I did made a HUGE impact on my level of enjoyment.  Dad was on his best behavior and a lot of fun to hang out with.  We even spent some time talking shop.  Since we both own and run our own businesses it’s one of the ways that we connect.  It felt so good to get together without triggering one another.  In fact, come to think of it, we were both on best behavior :~)

We played the Gratitude Game, which turned out to be a big hit!  My husband said it was like picking out your fortune.  I hope this is something we can do every year and turn it into a new family ritual.  It was such a fun way to focus on the positive.  I don’t know about your family, but my family gets kinda weird when it comes to the mushy stuff.  So this was a great way to get mushy in a lighthearted way that eased the weirdness out of it.  It was almost like people were more willing to accept the acknowledgment when it came in a round-a-bout way.  Interesting!

So how was your holiday?  I’d love to hear about it.  You can either post a comment or post a link to your specific blog post where you share about your Thanksgiving experience:
