A Quick Thanksgiving Day Survey

I have heard many people tell stories over the years about showing up at someones Thanksgiving and being totally under dressed. It seems as though some people out there dress up for the festivities (and I don't mean like Pilgrims) yet I have still to meet anyone who actually does. I am curious, how does your family dress for Thanksgiving? Totally casual like pajamas? Jeans? Nice casual? Dress up (or should I say dressy)? Any funny or embarrassing stories?

Just curious.

Have You Saw...?


It has been several months now but after being introduced to a new local National Park and taking a walk there with some friends, I decided to stay and explore the “steep” trail on my own. I hadn’t been walking long when a young girl stopped me to ask “have you saw…” pause to ask her dad again what they were looking for...continue “have you saw a unicorn?”

Not sure why this situation makes me laugh, probably because I spent most of the walk thinking about the question and why she was looking for a unicorn and why her dad was encouraging her to look for mythical creatures rather than teach her other essentials in life. What do I mean by this?

Well, my response was “no I haven’t, good luck looking for one.”

What I wanted to respond was “No, I has not seed a unicorn.”
