Non normal things I do on a holiday like today

I don't really celebrate today like most do. I stay home, do chores, make a few foods. I don't know that the tv will even get turned on today. I play some video games...all things I do on a normal day.
Really, today is no different for us than a normal day. Now I did make lower carb cinnamon bread, so that's a tad different, but not because it was a holiday, because I had time and wanted bread!
And now, off to move some more laundry around and check the ham in the crock pot (we eat this a couple times a month, again not holidayish).
Oh, I might put up a few decorations. I guess that is different. I am not very motivated this year on them, so we shall see.
How about you, is today really that different?

It was different. We didn't do Thanksgiving at anyone's house as in the past, but a restaurant. It was very impersonal and though it was good to see everyone, it was the worst holiday get together. I don't know if anyone else shared my opinion on that.

well, that way no one had to clean up. I know that can be a stress on the host.

@just4him I always liked the summer gatherings at a park, can even be catered, no cleanup and fun

@Jessicalynnt I would take helping with cleanup to yesterday's impersonal family dinner.

Thanksgiving is really big in my family and we all get together. We have a lot of birthdays this week.

I used coconut flour instead of wheat flour and substituted out the sugar for stevia. Ham cooked in a crock pot (ceramic slow heating dish)

@Jessicalynnt we did have a crock pot but i think my mother only used it once. i was curious about your ham recipe.
the coconut tree and coconut have many uses here, but i never knew about coconut flour.
