Spending Thanksgiving Alone This Year
I think I’ve spent the last three Thanksgivings alone in Houston ?? 😭 That sounds so bad, but I loooveeee to cook and tell my friends to come get a plate. If you’re out of state and away from loved ones this season, my advice would be to still make the holidays special. Even if it’s just you.
