17 days until Thanksgiving. Today we are solidifying our dinner guest list. Who is joining you at your Thanksgiving Day table?
Growing up we had a rule of thumb. Invite someone who doesn’t have any place to go. I was taught: no one should eat Thanksgiving dinner alone. Have you ever spent a holiday alone? I have. It helped me understand why when I was growing up there was always a big crowd at Thanksgiving.
This year we are going to Genevieve’s house for Thanksgiving. I know my sister; she will invite anyone who does not have a place to go. We will are blessed to be spending this Thanksgiving with my cousin, Vinnie, and his family. Kurt and I have friends we invite every year. They have now become part of our extended family. They join us every year for Thanksgiving regardless of who is hosting.
Who will be spending Thanksgiving Dinner with you? Share with us in the comments below.
Simple Step:
Take my mom’s advice. Invite someone to your Thanksgiving feast who doesn’t have any place to go.
Create a guest list. Talk it over with your family tonight at dinner. Who do you want to invite? Who do you know needs a place to spend Thanksgiving?
Pick up the phone and make that call. Put the invite out there.
Come back tomorrow as we plan our dinner menu.
