I guess my Thanksgiving tradition is pretty normal. Go to Dad's side of the family to visit my great grandmother and distant family that I don't talk to on any other occassion, and then Go to Mom's for the real Thanksgiving dinner... Then eat the leftovers for weeks. I love being able to see people that I don't get to see, to hear some news (which honestly is never very exciting in my family), and listen to the dysfunctional arguing of the families on both sides.
So I guess you could really say I have a normal tradition (as normal as a holiday will be for a child of divorced parents) with a ton of abnormal people. It really could be worse... But I love our family get togethers, and the awesome food that comes with it! Christmas will be even better, I just know it! But maybe that's my inner child speaking? You can decide on that one!!
But every year, the people get stranger, and the laughs come harder, the smiles grow bigger, the kids get taller and the old people get more wrinkles... but in the end, looking back, I'll just... smile because it happened.
