There is nothing wrong with wanting to be alone on this holiday, if it brings you peace to be by yourself. My older brother at times skips family holidays because he doesn’t feel like being social with a bunch of people at my Moms house. My Mom loves the holidays and loves seeing all her kids at the house and all of us spending time together. Since I’m only home until tomorrow morning, I’ve made sure to do everything I can to make Thanksgiving easy tomorrow. She needed an electrical carving knife and some metal turkey roaster/holder for the oven from Bed Bath & Beyond and she was so happy when I brought her those two things to her house tonight. I bought all the groceries from Whole Foods on Monday, including the turkey and all the fixings/dishes that goes along with it from Whole Foods too. My Mom is the only parent I have left and every moment is precious & valuable to me, so buying her everything for thanksgiving every year is something I love to do for her since she’s the one who does mostly all the cooking. It’s what she loves and so I definitely don’t mind paying the grocery bill on the holidays.

However anybody chooses to spend this holiday is entirely up to them, as long as it brings all of you peace, comfort and happiness is all that really matters.

Much love to you all!
