Although I’ve harped on my mother for years about going overboard with holidays, I still need a reminder myself when it’s my turn to host. It’s so easy to get caught up in the “have to get it done!” that it can ruin the joy of the holiday. I even ran out to the store at 5PM today to print some photos because my fridge looked bare, and as I confessed to the cashier “Last minute neurotic holiday decorating…” I realized how silly I am sometimes. The photos look freakin’ awesome though.

My mom has a friend who once hosted a party where one of the guests was Martha Stewart. Martha was in the kitchen fussing over how the pies looked while everyone else was outside having fun. Mom’s friend said to her, in a very pointed tone of voice, “No one cares about the pies, Martha.” Our family whips that line out any time Mom starts getting too deep into things, but today I had to laugh and tell myself “No one cares about the pies, Martha!” when I started to feel overwhelmed.

Thanks for the reminder to just chill already, and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here. =)

What a wonderful reminder, thanks a bunch!

That’s what I love about you, Mark, and all the rest of you here, you know what REALLY counts and strive to live that way and encourage others to do the same.

Have a happy Thanksgiving…..which was actually six weeks ago for us Canadians!
