Thanksgiving Day +1

My husband and I had Thanksgiving dinner yesterday afternoon, and we did the same thing today with friends J&J.  All of yesterday's 'left-overs' came out of the fridge and made another performance, and after a day of getting happy in the roasting pans, today's lunch was just as delicious as yesterday's.   I don't know why that is, but holiday foods just stay delicious until they're all gone. And it just isn't a holiday without all the potatoes and dressing and the turkey and the pies.

I would imagine that a lot of families along the east coast didn't have much of a holiday after all the storm damage they had up there last month, but I hope they found something to be thankful for, in the midst of all that madness after the hurricane.  We're still looking at pictures and video clips of that storm, and it's just so hard to believe that a storm of that strength hit so many parts of Long Island that we're both familiar with.

We usually get our big Christmas tree right after turkey-day, but being that Thanksgiving is a week early this year, we're going to wait another week to get the real tree.  I'm hoping that the trees that are sitting in the lots of Home Depot and Lowe's are being kept watered and safe so they're not filled with flying and crawling critters when we go to pick one out.  I was surprised to see that both stores already had some Christmas trees last week, and I'm hoping that they will get newer and fresher trees by the time we're ready to buy one.  It's been so warm here.... nearly 80 degrees last week.... not exactly Christmas tree weather.
