After the Turkey-Coma

So I had a good Thanksgiving. My cousin and her beau came to our house for Thanksgiving as well as my other 'family'. So we all had a really good time. I ate way too much. My dad made duck as well as the traditional turkey, and we had some really yummy potatoes and green bean casserole and stuffing. Oh it was just such a good feast. My mom, cousin, sister, cousin's boyfriend and I went shopping today. We didn't go anywhere big, just the downtown area of the small town I live in. It was fun. My cousin and her poor boyfriend got suckered into going to the antique shops with my mom and so my sister and I ditched and went down to Barnes and Noble where we proceeded to blow all our money. [laughing] We went to the skate shop and got some good clothes, too. So that was nice. We know the lady who owns the skate shop, so she gave us a discount. It pays to know people. So yep, that's been my holiday thus far. Tomorrow my family is going to 'hang the greens' at my church. I guess it's kind of a traditional Methodist thing. I don't know. Our church does it every year where we put up the Chrismon tree [Chrismon, not Christmas. Chrismon is the special kind of symbolic ornaments they use.] And my sister and I get to climb all over the pews and stuff and set up the electric candles that have been used in our church every single year since before I was born. But everyone else in our church is a senior citizen, so they can't climb all over the pews and put up decorations so my family ends up doing it. Hopefully it will be fun and we won't be stuck there for too long...
