Actually I guess we here are too but we are just not so completely commercialized as they are down there, My family had dinner on Thanksgiving Day at a dimly lit red leather palace called the Huddle somewhere out on the San Bernardino Freeway beyond the family home at Rosemead Blvd, and the view out the glass front of the building was an enormous Christmas Tree of solid lights. It was impressive and beautiful but so out of place on Thanksgiving Day. I must admit it reminded me of the song "Silver Bells—It's Christmas time in the City" which our choral group is working on at the moment. But I am going to stand fast on the old fashioned idea of Thanksgiving first and then Christmas. It took me 12 hours to drive to LA in that horrible storm last Wednesday but I got home in only 10 hours, The storm didn't hit coming home until I was almost in Sacramento. When I arrived home tast Saturday morning there were Grass Valley streets all ready for Christmas, At least they didn't have their tree up yet. My trip to the South was an emergency and my husband and I had to miss our Thanksgiving celebration but with my shape who needs it. We have lots to be thankful for this year. No surgeries since last May and that's the best record my husband has had in five years, If there is still turkey available we will celebrate in a day or so, I think the best part of the feasting is the left. over turkey. It makes such delicious sandwiches and creamed turkey with all the seasonings reminiscent of the big feast is good too.
