I'm Amy, and I love to plan and design events! Weddings, parties, corporate events - whatever the occasion, I love to make it fabulous. Thanks for stopping by! It's nice to meet you!
Thanksgiving. The gateway of the holiday season in the U.S. When it comes to holidays, I love tradition. This means that I like to celebrate them in their own time and give each its due. So, with that in mind, here's a salute to Thanksgiving. A nod to the home-cooked goodness of a meal shared with family and friends, to the blessings in my life and to the little traditions that mean so much.
When you live in the world of weddings and events, it's easy to get carried away with beautiful design and coordinating details. It's the nature of our business to look for the ways we can make each experience magnificent, gorgeous, and yes, even amazing. So, when I think of Thanksgiving, I see it as a time to relish the home-spun, feel-good traditions that won't make the cover of Martha Stewart Living. But, they're heart-felt and encompass all that is familiar and comfortable.
I will start the day by watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade with all the little people in our house. We'll critique the floats and pick our favorites. The smell of the turkey cooking will float through the air and we will all pass in and out of the kitchen to sneak a taste of all that is yummy and tempting. We'll compare recipes and enjoy the dishes that are brought by the aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. The paper handprint turkeys will have a place of honor on the refrigerator and the table will probably boast an arrangement of pumpkins and fall leaves.
And as the day ends, I'll be listening to the chatter of a full house as the football game plays in the background. I'll be the one enjoying a big serving of whipped cream with a little pumpkin pie on the side!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy all the blessings, both large and small, that fill each day!
