This makes our second year just the two of us with none of the kids coming home so last year we started our annual Thanksgiving tradition and that does not = cooking and a huge mess since it’s just us. So our new tradition is to go out to eat. We go to a fabulous hotel, where the buffet’s never seem to end and the food is totally out of this world so that’s exactly where we went again this year. Our reservations were for 1:00 PM where we were promptly seated and the service was excellent.
We spent 2 hours relaxing and enjoying our Thanksgiving meal. The atmosphere was absolutely delightful with the piano and flute playing beautiful Thanksgiving dinner music the entire time. Our bellies are stuffed and we are now relaxing at home for the remains of the day.
We used to do that when my mom was working on Thanksgiving day. We always really enjoyed it, but the disadvantage is no leftovers! That can be an advantage though.
