I don&#8217;t have any local family, but wasn&#8217;t short of invitations from friends to spend the holiday with them and theirs. I can&#8217;t thank these friends enough for the invitations, in spite of declining them all, it means a lot to know I have friends who care enough to make that kind of offer.<\/p>\n<p>But spending Thanksgiving at my apartment didn&#8217;t mean I wasn&#8217;t going to have turkey!

Hopefully next year I&#8217;ll be able to spend this holiday with family, perhaps driving up to Rochester or New Hampshire, but this year I&#8217;m thankful for having a couple days off from work and the satisfaction of having everything I need for a warm comfortable holiday.
