I love the movie “Christmas Vacation.” The Boss and I frequently discuss whether or not we’re trending more Todd and Margo or Griswold, and honestly I’m not sure how it’s going to end up, but I’m sure our neighbors roll their eyes mightily when we spandex up and head out for our weekend bike rides.

Ahem. Anyway.

Having just returned from what ended up being a logistically epic Thanksgiving, I am thrilled to be settled in tonight with an AMC showing of Christmas Vacation. I just spent the past week with my family (which included about 20 people when all were added up), my in laws and my other in laws (my step-daughter’s mother and her husband) (to be fair, we only saw them for an afternoon, but it was great to catch up) (I’m not saying that sarcastically, we all really get along) (that’s another blog post).

ANYWAY. I think this is my long way of saying, this Thanksgiving, I find myself thankful for my family, both ones of origin and of choice, and the perspective they give me in all things… even if it’s just a newfound appreciation of an classic Christmas story.
