Fake Thanksgiving

So, tonight was Fake Thanksgiving. We had turkey, potatoes, gravy, corn, cranberry sauce, rolls, stuffing, and two types of pie--lemon meringue and chocolate banana cream. The only thing missing was my brother Ryan, who is still on his mission, and my mom, who is not coming back from the grave, as far as we know.

But it was the first Fake Thanksgiving of the year--we always do a trial run before the big day, and yes, I am talking about Halloween. Okay, some years Fake Thanksgiving has been right before the real Thanksgiving, or after Thanksgiving, depending on if we ended up with any turkey leftovers or not. Anyway, it is a fun tradition, and I'm pretty certain we're the only family with a Fake Holiday.
