Thanksgiving
So, I'm thinking of staying in Maine forThanksgiving. There's really
noright decision here, which sucks. I mean, I want to spend
Thanksgiving with my parents A LOT.But I DON'T want to spend
Thanksgiving with about 19 of the 23 other people in my dad's side of
the family. I DON'T want to have Thanksgivingin Maryland. I DON'T want
tohave abig, loud, overwhelming gathering. Because I don't know where
I'll belivingnext year, or the year after, or the year after, etc . . .
thismight be my last ThanksgivinginMaine fora while. I don't want
Maryland.
I want the cold air ofMaine.I want the fireplace or woodstove, I want sweaters, I want, space . . . that doesn't exist in Maryland. I want to spend time with Luke over break. I want to spend time with my friends over break.Iwant to bealbe to geta fairamount of work done. If I stay, I'll go to Auntie-Beth's and have dinnerwith them - the"usual" Thanksgiving crowd sans my parents - and hopefully I'll bring Luke with me. Then I'll havethe rest of the breakto spend time with just . . .everyone.
I know that I want tostay and do Thanksgiving in Maine.I know that I want to spend this holiday with my family here. I just wish my parents would stay. My brother's in Europe, which ishard, but I'mhappy that he's havingthisopportunity. It just hurts alot that this may be my last Thanksgiving home for years, and they won't be there.
