Story of a really gay family's Thanksgiving day.......

YES! We do eat TURKEY in Turkey!...

Every year this time around my friends make the same joke. "Do they eat Turkey in Turkey?-- How does it taste?"  

Do I get mad? --NO!--

Am I over with this joke?--NO! Never!--

This joke gives me the hint that holiday season is officially on. I LOVE HOLIDAY SEASON!!! Obviously I'm not American and not a Christian and clearly I'm not into excessive eating...

Why do I love it then???-- I do love the sprit, shininess and mostly the idea of getting together the ones we love.

I'm far away from my family. Nobody from family is here and never visited me so far.-:(:(

You would think I'm lonely and helpless. On the contrary! I do have another set of family here. I do have a husband who is the most adoranbe person I have ever met. (P.S. He is more adorable when he is tipsy _:):):)-) I do have my very good friends to count on.

I have so many reasons to thank for this year. I'm healthy, I'm safe and I'm with a man I love. What could I ask more?! (maybe little more money! Did you read that GOD??!!)

As every year  Brian and I stayed home for Thanksgiving. (Being just two of us is favorite to do)

 I woke up earlier than Brian. I put on a pot of coffee which I could not live without.  I prepared our traditional Thanksgiving breakfast oatmeal with chocolate. Meantime Brian woke up and strolled in the kitchen in his stripe pajamas. He gave me big kisses. 

Brian  hates Macy's Thanksgiving parade. I LOVE IT !!! Those bigger than life size balloons give me so much joy. Well!!! Being married is all about compromising. 

Of course Brian had to watch parade with me in the bed while he was sipping strong El Busto coffee.

After that we watched a movie which I ordered for him. Movie was about Truman. (He loves American history and politics)

It was already 1pm. We both started cooking. Don't get me wrong but Brian is a lousy cook, so I gave him vegetables to clean.He cleaned brussel sprouts and green beans. 

I have to admit he is an amazing bartender. Cosmopolitans he did put us on REAL holiday spirit.

While I got ready red wine reduction for pearl onions, of course I gulped down a glass of merlot too. OY! I was little dizzy! :) 

Something about cooking our own food on Thanksgiving day was so different feeling. I felt like it made us a real strong family. It was just two of us but we were whole

Can you guys keep a secret?!!:) 

This year we cheated. We ordered whole rostered chicken. It came with side dishes such as okra, cabbage salad, biscuits and corn muffins. Of course we put those carbs aside. I already was baking yam and potatoes. ( Well! We are a gay family. We have to be careful our stomachs. Blame me!!  Say it!!-- Such stereotypes!!! )

Everything worked just perfectly. Just two of us ate and had so much fun. Not to mention Susan Boyle's new cd put us in tipsy holiday spirit.

Even though kitchen was a big mess, we had an amazing time together.

I know I'm not American but I'm really thankful to this country and pilgrims. Despite of so many gay right issues this country gave me my husband and the feeling of being myself. Therefore "THANK YOU!"

I know Brian and I are not a traditional family. Certainly our lives and Thanksgiving day was NOT the vision of Norman Rockwell's painting for American family

YES! We are a gay family.  Maybe we are not a typical American family but we are both good people and love each other. We are part of this country. We deserved to be married and live happily after. (not to mention we pay big bucks taxes!!!)

That was the story for my little gay family's Thanksgiving day. I'm sure there are so many stories like this....

Happy Thanksgiving to my readers who are my real friends and part of my family :):):)
