Tuesday, November 26, 2024: TWOfer Tuesday - The "Let's Change The Mood From Sad To Gladness" Edition

To misquote Jim Morrison off of L.A. Woman, let's change the mood from sad to gladness.

I get it, Thanksgiving isn't the most welcomed holiday these days, and there are a lot of valid, important reasons to not participate.  I'll never argue that Thanksgiving is not, in many ways, problematic.

But, for me and my family, this is really the one time of year that we have a reason, whatever the roots for that reason is, but a reason to come back together for a day, or couple of days, to reconnect, eat good food, and get some good laughter and storytelling in.   And that's it, for me and mine, at least.
