Happy Late and meatlessThanksgiving

Happy late Thankgiving to all of you! We at the Castruccio house decorate for Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend. James put up the lights and got the tree up for us to decorate. He decided our other tree was too small for the living room and so he bought a 12 footer. Since we only had decorations for a tree half the size, I ran out of ornaments 2 times!! Goodness! So off Abby and I went to get more. It still looks kinda sparse upclose, but still is pretty. James and the neighbors went together to get a lift to put up Christmas lights on the houses. I think there are already plans for next years lights... oh boy! ;)
We had a great and quiet Thanksgiving. Although meatless, it was still good. We shared it with Shannon and had a good time! So here's the story. The 10 pound-thawed turkey took over 5 hours to cook! So we ate everything, including pie, and finally the turkey was done. What in the world!! It has been good leftovers... but are the technically leftovers if you never had it in the beginning??!!!
