That is a great idea! Instead of his desk, I might try his pillow![/quote]

Not here. It will just be my husband and I this year so "life as usual". Besides I'll be sewing Christmas quilts until Christmas Eve I'm sure so I need to stay "moving". lol

We all go to our cabin in the woods, about 2 hours from here, I won't be able to sew until I get back Friday. We take everything there and oldest DD is my assistant, every year, a few others help and bring snacks, deer meat goodies, late DBIL use to smoke a turkey, DSIL will do it in his honor this year. We have turkey in the oven, mashed potatoes, gravy, frozen corn, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, Brown N serves, Pumpkin pies, special cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate cake, cherry pie, apple pie. Lots of people.
Happy Thanksgiving all. Many blessings, although we has 2 less family members this year.

We also will be just 2, and I have a week off from work. I need to get 18-20 aprons made, so will be sewing. I figure about 40 hours total, so I guess laundry and stuff will have to wait :lol:

I can just shut my door to my sewing room. My son and DIL will be here that evening so we can get up in the morning at 5 and hit a few stores. They always adopt a couple of families for Christmas and buy all their presents.
