My Louisiana native husband is the biggest baby. Me? I'm just getting comfortable and starting to wear jeans again and shirts that aren't tank tops.

I went to the store yesterday. It’s about 37 and foggy here in California and the natives think they are at the North Pole. I grew up in Eastern Montana

So, since nobody else has been home I’ve just been relaxing. Decide to get myself a bottle of wine and a rotisserie chicken for lunch (don’t judge) so I go in my shorts, Birkenstocks and my beat up tshirt because I couldn’t care

Had a lady ask me if she could buy me a coat since it was so cold and I didn’t have one. (Had my Pendleton jacket and my massive carhart in my car, just didn’t feel like putting them on.

So yeah, wife says I can’t leave my house like that anymore. I guess she’s going to the store from now on

A romantic Thanksgiving viewing of … The Shining​

My husband and I have been together for 13 years now, and every Thanksgiving, we watch The Shining. Right after high school, when I was working a part-time job, I went on break and saw that I had 17 text messages. A guy from school had repeatedly texted: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Liking scary movies, I recognized the line and texted back. We went on a date shortly after, and have been together ever since. So now we always play that movie, because we’re thankful it brought us together.

Burrito Thanksgiving​

We have Burrito Thanksgiving. I’m vegetarian, and no one in the house likes Thanksgiving food, so instead of cooking food no one likes, we gather for days to prep the most elaborate burrito spread we can imagine.

Tossing the Christmas lampshade​

My adult kids, son-in-law and I circle the Christmas tree and take turns tossing a battered yellow and orange flowered lampshade to see who can land it in its place of honor atop the tree. It started about 10 years ago, when we decided against the rather generic angel we had been using. My oldest son rescued the lampshade (an old craft project of my daughter’s) en route to the trash, and our tradition was born. The first year, I was very aware of its incongruity. At this point, I can’t imagine our tree without it.

Last few years we’ve alternated between going to New York City or Pennsylvania Christmas market
