I love celebrating holidays the traditional way, with family, cooking and hanging around, but I couldn't help but think the perfect Thanksgiving would be me sitting on a beach in a tropical place, all day long, getting tan...and not having all of that food around. My first thought, when reading this post was, "I wish my Thanksgiving was without all of this food." My mom tends to go overboard with the food on holidays. I love being a part of all of the Italian/American tradional foods that we make, I just wish all that food wasn't there, at the same time. I just hope no one looks at me to see what I eat and if I'm eating.
