to give you a little background:

I am having Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family, who decided a while ago that since we would all be scattered around the world for Christmas, we would have Christmas at Thanksgiving!

I was told this on Monday morning.

I'll repeat that for emphasis: I was told that the family is having Christmas for Thanksgiving 2 work days before Thanksgiving.

So Happy Christgiving, folks! Or Merry Thanksmas! Whatever floats your gravy boat.
