Hmmmm....well, all the kids are home for Thanksgiving Break. This is my favorite time of year, I absolutely love this holiday yet it is one of the craziest times of the year for me! I love having my kids at home but I also love when school resumes and we get back to normalcy. When I was a kid, Christmastime was my favorite holiday but over the years I have graduated to loving Thanksgiving out of all of them! I never understood as a kid, why my mom loved it so much but now I do, and honestly there are too many words to describe WHY I love and enjoy Thanksgiving.
Holidays mean time off from work and school and kids who are always looking for something to do. During this time many cable channels will play and re-play a movie over and over and over throughout the entire Thanksgiving or Christmas day, I happened to be flipping through and found Gone With The Wind playing so I left it on. I have never seen the movie in it's entirety, mainly because it is VERY long and my kids rarely allow me to sit for more than 10 minutes at a time! But this time was different, they all became GLUED to the TV, I was incredibly shocked that everyone with the exception of the 3yr old were totally enraptured by this classic! My six year old boy loved the war action, horses, soldiers and of course, fire. My girls loved the drama and Scarlett O'Hara's deceiving character regarding men and money. I think it showed them that even over generations, girls haven't changed much...LOL!
Well, every year I want to make a turkey cake with it's colorful feathers but so far I haven't had the time but that's OK watching my kids enjoy a classic movie was well worth forgoing a turkey cake :)
