this day

I woke up at 5:30 this morning because I was so excited.

I love Thanksgiving. I love the fellowship…the food…how festive is everything is.

I like how I called home yesterday, my sister and I were out thrifting, and my mum and little sister were talking in a cross between English cockney accents and Irish accents because ‘they were pilgrims.’

I like how everything in the house smells like cranberries and cinnamon.

I love the fellowship. It’s probably my very favorite aspect of the holidays. Remember how my family and I moved to North Carolina this past summer? Where we moved, Raleigh has a bunch of my cousins, and aunts, and uncles, and my grandparents. Many of them are coming over here and we’re just going to party it out. I love it when every room in the house is filled with people celebrating, laughing, eating, dancing, playing, reading together. Must be the inner southern girl in me.

And the food. I love the food. I could talk for hours on what your thanksgiving meal should include (pie. Plenty of pie.) but I really would much rather go gobble it down (pun fully intended).

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! What are your favorite traditions and aspects you carry out this filling day?

{happy Thanksgiving, friend!}
