We are celebrating a traditional Thanksgiving this year. My parents (my dad and step-mom), my brother, our 3 kids, and my husband and I will all be eating at our house. It's the first time my parents are coming to our house for Thanksgiving because they usually ate with my step-mom's family, but unfortunately, her mom and sister both passed recently. We haven't spent as much time together as I would like (it's a long story!), so this is a big deal! And of course I feel the need to have everything be perfect....I've been cleaning up a storm, and we are mostly all decorated for Christmas. So, I get up this morning and the top third of our tree lights have blown out....not just a few bulbs, either, half the strand is black, burnt-out bulbs.....
