I love this photo of my family
at Thanksgiving a number of years ago. The meal was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. I wasn’t working at this time though and had plenty of time to plan for and prepare the meal. Not the case anymore. Therefore my mom and I agreed to simplify Thanksgiving this year.
- We’ll have one kind of cranberry sauce instead of the typical three
- We’ll only make two different vegetables.
- Finally, I’ll only make one apple pie, instead of what would often turn into five or six pies of different types.
This will mean a lot less time in the kitchen for us and hopefully a lot more relaxed family time for us all.
How could you simplify Thanksgiving or other holidays this year? What might simplifying them make possible for you?
