Happy Hamgiving! Thankshaming! Ham day!
Yes, I know it's sacrilegious for most people, but we don't eat turkey on Thanksgiving. We like ham better. So that's what we eat.
There were only five of us at Thanksgiving this year (not complaining) -- Mom, Dad, Brotherface, and Grandma. My mom made a delicious spread of ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing (obviously not stuffed inside the ham), yams (which I don't eat because they are gross), cranberry sauce, crescent rolls, and Grandma's carrot and pineapple orange jell-o. And wine. It was all very good.
I've also decided that I love the holidays not for reasons that most people love the holidays (family, good will, cheer, etc.), although those things are good. I love the holidays because I get to do puzzles. My mom always breaks out a new puzzle at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I swear I can sit there all day, digesting the enormous meal, putting together a puzzle. Today, my brother and I did this puzzle:
It was a tough one, but fun. Not the worst ever ("Hay in a Needlestack," I'm talking to you), but a good challenge.
Hope you all enjoyed your turkeys, or whatever you ate today!

I've never heard of it anywhere else, just in Southern MD. I was told this is where it originated and evidently this is where it stayed.
