So, Americans ate more meals at home this year than last, by 12 (242 meals at home this year vs. 231 before), according to data reported in the NYTimes. We certainly have; we've eaten out once as a family in about two months. And Thanksgiving is no different. Now, we will officially have two households at ours (Goo is on his own now and doesn't live with Ma and Gong), as is the average apparently, but we will not have the nine people present that is standard. We'll have 7.
I think. This holiday season is off to a rocky start as far as family relationships go and promises to be fairly stressful, especially with our wedding on Christmas Eve thrown into the mix. We're muddling through, getting some advice from our trusted friend and minister, and trying not to ruin the season (or the future), while also reexamining our needs, priorities, and boundaries. Wish us luck and keep us in your thoughts, but let's not dwell; it doesn't help.
