I give thanks for many things, which include my friends, family, good health, and continued employment.

And I give thanks for being single and childless and allowed to choose what I like for Feast Days, instead of Traditional Food.

For Thanksgiving this year, for instance, the R.C. and I had High Tea.

A pot of Darjeeling. Cucumber, smoked salmon, and egg salad sandwiches. Fresh fruit, Four or five chocolate-themed desserts, including champagne-truffles, chocolate fudge cake, and chocolate-wrapped Milanos.

Mmmm.
