Thanksgiving in March?

It’s the month of November, and here in the United States we are about to celebrate Thanksgiving. Time to entertain long-lost relatives by serving them turkey and all the trimmings.

We used to drive to Illinois to spend Thanksgiving with my husband’s relatives. There would be around thirty people all diving into turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc. Some years we’ve flown to San Diego where we had Thanksgiving dinner with friends. Another time we flew down to Key West.

This year, we’ll be at home. That way we avoid the crazy traffic on the roads and the equally crazy times at the airports.

So, who’s going to be cooking? Hmm. I can’t think of any reason why it should be me. Let’s see how many reasons there are for NOT cooking Thanksgiving dinner.




1. The poor turkey deserves to go gobble gobble even on Thanksgiving day.



2. You can never get everything ready at the same time.

3. Who really wants to watch Aunt Bertha belch?

4. Hasn't a new restaurant just opened up? Oh, it’s Chinese? Chinese turkey might be quite tasty.

5. Time for change! Let's celebrate Thanksgiving in March. There's nothing much going on in March, is there?
