More thanks

I want to hold this thanksgiving in my heart.  Something about it feels special.  Arlo Guthrie sing alongs, setting my uncles laughing,  Krampus and Bellschnickle, swallowing my pride and playing a really good game of chess,  praise for my pies,  kids are in great humor, chapping my hands from so many dishes washed,  bathroom dance parties, discussions of inexplicable scripture (also more explicable scripture) at the dinner table, a little bit of psychotic music and train crashes, some football, a fire in the fireplace, cat people...

I feel calm and happy.
