It’s Labor Day! Hey GOB Writers, what’s your favorite holiday?
No question, it’s Thanksgiving. I love food. I love to cook. I love to entertain. The trifecta. Especially now that I host most of the holiday celebrations, Thanksgiving has risen among its competitors. I love the planning (the lists!), the prep, the day of cooking (and wine drinking, obviously). The reason it’s my favorite is definitely NOT watching everyone consume – in record time – the food it’s taken days to prepare. Instead, it’s the lingering around the table together, talking for hours. Time with my people. That’s the winner for me.
This is a hard one for me because just describing a day as a holiday makes it a reason for a party, in my book. My favorite has varied depending on my age, the age of my children, and the amount of family and friends around to share it with me. Last year … or this year … not sure which, it was New Year’s Eve. I usually fall asleep before midnight but this time I had lots of friends and family over and we walked to a nearby beach where they have a festival like celebration with the streets closed, bands playing, and a countdown at midnight. This year it will probably be Thanksgiving because I hope to have a big group of family and friends in my new place. But who knows, Halloween can always jump up there with new ghost stories … and Christmas with my infamous Yule Log …
