This is our first Thanksgiving with absolutely nothing going on.

Don't get me wrong, I love having family over, but over the last few years the logistics have caused too much anxiety (that happens when both children are married and trying to decide which set of parents to eat with etc, etc.).
This year, our younger son is working (firefighter) and his wife is going to her parents and our older son and his family are going to his in-laws this year.
I kinda welcome the quietness of a 'down' year to pause and reflect on what I am truly thankful for: my own life, my wife beating cancer four years ago, our older son beating cancer this year, and all the family getting along and reasonably healthy for the coming holiday season.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
So, I think TAB has the right idea.
