HOLIDAYS! Time to gather and give thanks for all the wonderful things in life. My Thanksgiving is usually spent serving other families, but it makes coming home to a loving husband, a delicious dinner, and a few bottles of wine that much more appreciated! Also, having the weekends around the holidays to gather with the people I love is fantastic.
I always provide the wine.
