nevertheless . I tried to mimic our North Eastern Thanksgiving our first year here..we had the adult children, the grandmother, the set table and all the same cooked recipes we loved. But our appetites were not feeling as ravenous, and instead of craving the coziness of leftovers the next day, we all wanted to be outdoors in the gorgeous weather doing something instead.
Now we have established a new tradition. We all (even doggie sometimes) go out to eat our turkey dinner in a beautiful outdoor restaurant venue of choice.
I love our Christmas weather here in San Diego. No other part of the world shares our December weather except. . . The Mediterranean! Specifically, Israel. It's dry and clear and cold as heck at night, and you go out and look at the twinkling stars and realize they're the same stars that Jesus, and Mary, and Joseph saw above them. . . Plus, on Palm Sunday, we cut our own palm branches.
In New York city suburbs, I think we had maybe 2 white Christmases I can recall, so that isnt an issue for me. A lot of other Christmas season experiences of the north east, too numerous to list, I definitely do miss.

Sounds delightful. ❤️
Yeah, we went for Christmas one year too. Nice, but I missed having a white Christmas.
