Thanksgiving

We had unexpected company for Thanksgiving! It's a good thing we had nothing planned.   Dan and Robin came to town.. Their visit gave us the impetus to celebrate.   Though our celebration was a bit off.  We had our Thanksgiving dinner Wednesday night.  And we had a roast.   It didn't seem like Thanksgiving though without the turkey.  It just seemed like a nice dinner.

I guess I am just a traditional girl.  There are just some elements that are required for me for  a Thanksgiving celebration.. First, it needs to occur on a Thursday--mid-day.  And a turkey with DRESSING.   A pumpkin pie is essential.  Alas, we had no pie.    That's it.  Put a pie and turkey and dressing on the table midday Thursday and I will most certainly feel like it's Thanksgiving Day.  Maybe we'll get it right next year.

Now, I just have to make sure the essential ingredients of Christmas appear.  What do you think is essential?  I am going to give it some thought.
