"You heard what Linus was saying out there. Those early Pilgrims were thankful for what had happened to them, and we should be thankful, too. We should just be thankful for being together. I think that's what they mean by 'Thanksgiving,' Charlie Brown."
----Marice, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

Gotta love Charlie Brown and his holiday adventures.
So many great holiday themed quotes.
And this one courtesy of Marice!
For all you non-Charlie Brown/Peanuts fans, she's not the BRIGHEST bulb.
Well, Thanksgiving is upon us.
A time of turkeys, stuffing and family gatherings.
The Macy's parade on the TV
[amazing performances from Legally Blonde, Xanadu and more]
And a time to reflect on what we are thankful for.

I have so much to be thankful for:

My health.
My amazing family. [despite our semi-dysfunctional ways, I still love them and would be nowhere without them.]
My amazing friends [the best and most amazing people I have ever met]
All the fun I've had
All the role models of Broadway and screen who I admire: Who are POSITIVE role-models unlike most of the celebritys in the news today.

So yes, very much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Dinner was AMAZING. I loved the sweet potato mixed with marshmellow.
And the old standards: Turkey, stuffing and brussle strouts and broccoli and cheese.
So yeah.
Good stuff.

Tomorrow is Black Friday!
My FAVORITE holiday that isn't really a holiday.
I am so exicited to go get all the bargains! =)
I'm so gonna buy myself something too!

So yes: Life is good.
Dec 8th: going to NY
hopefully the strike will be over
Not looking good, but HOPEFULLY :crosses fingers:

Let the Christmas season begin!
--------------------------------------------

City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's
A feeling of Christmas
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every
Street corner you'll hear

Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day


Strings of street lights
Even stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all
This bustle you'll here


Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day
Soon it will be Christmas Day
