Families are so much smaller than they once were.<br /><br />I have to say the one of the reasons I truly love Thankgsiving is there is no pressure about gifts or spending money. It's about that moment when we all sit together. Families are scattered.

Back in the old days it was just a matter of doing the right thing to bring food to a family who'd lost a loved one. They were the kind of people who pulled to the side of the roads when a funeral procession passed by. It was about respect and manner and doing the right thing.

When I was little Thanksgiving was down the street at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was a small place and packed with people and food. The kids has a separate table and I hated it. I always wanted to sit with the grown ups and it made me feel left out. Now Thanksgiving is at my house every year. No kid's table is allowed.
