I'm at my mother-in-law's where I can shower, flush, rinse and spit freely down the drain. What I love best about Thanksgiving isn't the turkey or the pie or the parade on TV (which would be a parade on the street if I lived in NYC) or the football or the sweet potatoes (though they come in a close second). The best part about Thanksgiving, besides the giving thanks bit, is the gathering together. The connection to people you love and people who love you back, flaws, foibles and all.
