No politics, religion or philosophical differences

will be discussed today... Just sitting around, overeating, and sharing memories with one another of previous holidays and stories about relatives and friends who are no longer with us...

Wishing everyone a peaceful and loving day.

the majority of my family are likeminded Dems and the holiday rules are no politics period, it's all about the family and enjoying our time together.

We always have a good time. I love my family and I am so thankful to them. I was born "different", and they gave me nothing but love and support.

my nephew and his wife are trumpers. They are both UGA grads and rah-rah Walker supporters. UGH. We will talk family and remember times and peoples gone by.

I hope my DU friends have a wonderful day. I am thankful to have you share my life.

Today I'm having a turkey sandwich with myself.
