- Momma's birthday falling on Thanksgiving. Double holiday! Thanksgiving is the best holiday for your birthday to fall on. It's not a Christian holiday, so you have no remorse about overshadowing Jesus, and it's not a present holiday so there is still gifting. Plus you get the biggest, most delicious meal of the year.
- Having a big, delicious meal the night before Thanksgiving. I like to think of the Oceanaire crab cakes as stretching for the marathon the next day. Plus, eating a giant meal the day before keeps from extraneous pre-meal snacking that is inevitably regretted.
- The newspaper. The biggest, freest newspaper of the whole year.
- The Black Friday sales that lure you to think about getting up at 3 am. And then you pass out after your 4:30 dinner until noon the next day and realize you've slept through the $200 laptop.
- Lounging. So. Much. Lounging.

by-the-by
.... during thanksgiving's big family gathering, your brother was being asked about your blog and in response he noted, "it's really hard to comment on her blog .. I don't know why".
... they had a birthday cake and sang and asked for a speech and then the little darlings asked, "How old are you?" I mumbled "56" and then remembered how fun it use to be to get older and especially the numbers with a "6" because they meant you were past the hump of "5" and closer to the upcoming cool number ending with a "0". So, with this in mind, I raised my arms, smiled away and shouted "almost 60!". Unlike childhood, no one looked green with envy.
