I have to choose between the last week of November or first week of December for a date to get my tonsils. I must say, I prefer to be degraded even more over Christmas than Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! There is so much lower pressure at Christmas, no cards, no gifts, no obligation to dress for 18 games in a row. Do not get me for Christmas well, I love, but I like Thanksgiving more, that's all.My doc looked me straight in the eye and said: (sic) "Things are bad, make no mistake, I'll give you some great drugs, but you'll be on a liquid diet for a few weeks" - although there is the decision tonsils then after Thanksgiving!
I mean, has great Thanksgiving dinner, drinks, family, games and football the next day! And I love it partly because my mother is the Jedi-Gravy Master. Only Anne Spreng can make the best gravy in the world, and homemade pies.I think it would be thrown out of the family if she ever thought about showing up to Thanksgiving without Pies! It allows them to start from scratch and they are absolutely the best pie ever! I do not even like pumpkin pie (which is weird because I love pumpkin seeds, muffins and bread, but something about the consistency of pumpkin pie that makes me gag) but I would upset if she arrived without. My cousin Dan can cry if my mother told me she did not do too much, he loves his pumpkin pie.Turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes with lots of butter, gravy, carrots, pies and drinks the stuff you dream my friends! Thanksgiving is a little stressful in the whole organization to a great dinner with some family, but it's still a ton of fun.
Our traditions change as children get older and start making traditions of their own, but I do not think anyone could push my love to the festivities. So, tonsils, you can wait another week to go, I'll be unhappy after Thanksgiving!
