Dusting off the Thanksgiving Pants

I generally don't see my family for Thanksgiving, because it's a really long trip for a very short visit. And scheduling travel for Thanksgiving and Christmas is difficult, so I have always saved my vacation time for Christmas.

But when I do travel for Thanksgiving, I always dust off my Thanksgiving Pants. They're an important tradition in my family. Last week, I decided I wanted to be home for Thanksgiving. I figured if I could find available seats and a decent fare, I would go to NY.  Without the knowledge of my mom and, until this morning, my brother (we had to tell him so he could drive me home) I arrived home in time to order pizza for dinner. It was an awesome way to start the holiday!
