oh, i love an on-set family kind of experience. so now that you're done with the finale, are you off for the holidays ? i did a lot of shopping while on tour, hitting up cute little local shopping spots and booths. i had to ship a few boxes home to myself, because i went overboard and i couldn't check it all in with my flight. but thankfully - i'm mostly done. how about you ?

well it's not my first thanksgiving alone, thanks to working in the nfl i've spent a lot of thanksgivings alone... kind of, anyway. if we're away on a game then the team does try and do something together. so it was more my first thanksgiving alone preparing food myself. i'm happy that i didn't burn anything or burn down my kitchen. and for the excess leftovers.

that's the worst, but that's very cool that you try and do something together if that's the case. i was about to invent a time machine and go back so that i could gatecrash, but since i can't, i'm glad there's no need to. just a consequence of being a critical athlete, i 'spose !

you know i love going home for the holidays. seeing all my family, checking on my siblings like a good big sister and all the home cooking. i love to eat so any chance i get for my mom's food i'm going to take it. what's one thing you look forward to on the holidays. @hhhqstarter

nothing ever matches your family's home cooking. it's like, seasoned with nostalgia that just makes it hit different, it's like - food for the soul and not just for fuel. i'm glad you had a great time ! i'm too british for thanksgiving but, i think it's so wholesome. i'm a ' no christmas speak til december ' kinda gal so enjoying my last few days before i get in that mode !

for my first thanksgiving by myself i don't think i did too bad. i made a turkey breast, followed a few recipes for different sides, and realized i made far too much for just myself. guess that means i'm going to be eating a lot of leftovers for the next few days. does anyone else find themselves more excited for the leftovers than the original dish? @hhhqstarter

like, your first thanksgiving spending it alone, or first thanksgiving preparing the food alone ? because that is illegal, but i love that you did all that food prep for yourself ! like, fuck yeah ! i bet you were very thankful to yourself for cooking !
