Plus, there are special events everywhere - I just couldn't decide between Mt. Vernon & Colonial Williamsburg. I decided on Mt. Vernon because it's close and I'm spending a week at Christmas elsewhere.
Of course, I haven't let on to anyone else yet. That's going to be the hard part!
Good luck to you, AGDee!

I usually work and then spend the rest of Thanksgiving alone-I get the "oh you poor thing" looks all of the time. I don't mind working -usually it is a slow day, it is the day after that is bad (when all of the pets have gotten into the Thanksgiving goodies).
