I still have a copy.<br /><br />Someday, I hope to be at the point in my life when I can take in orphans for Thanksgiving and other holidays. Right now, given my job, the holiday provides an oasis of calm in the midst of a very busy time of year. <br /><br />I was an Thanksgiving orphan once, and ended up having a wonderful time with my friend Terry and her parents. I cherish those memories today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904171824244129391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-65111433986209481692009-11-25T10:29:54.045-05:002009-11-25T10:29:54.045-05:00My husband & I are frequently transferred due ...My husband & I are frequently transferred due to job (11 times in 23 years). For Thanksgiving we are usually either the orphans or host fellow orphans. We've even had turkey in the form of sandwiches at a ski resort in Alaska! I love your blog and the old Victoria. I had a different take on Judith's article. I thought she was complaining about all the complaining that accompanies the holidays. I prefer a more upbeat tone - but I think her sentiment was to enjoy the day and all that it brings - even orphans. P.S. Is anyone asking you to consult on their magazine?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-87921588006315929032009-11-25T10:29:50.997-05:002009-11-25T10:29:50.997-05:00Gathering family and friends around a table at the...Gathering family and friends around a table at the holidays is one of the great joys of life. Your letter was perfectly crafted, Nancy (as always) and your response is so in keeping with the spirit and soul of Victoria. Nice matters, especially at the holidays!

He is a single young man with no family in the area. Because he is single he usually chooses to work on holidays, so that others can be with their families. He will come to our home after his work shift, and there will be a place just for him at our table. I am thankful to be able to provide both food and a "family" for him to celebrate with. :) <br /><br />I had actually read your letter to the NYT editor and thought your response was spot on. Thank you so much for being one of those examples of thankfulness... encouraging us to show gratitude in our daily lives. Thanks also for sharing that recipe with us. I hope you and your family have a very blessed holiday.<br /><br />ChristiCharm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-77215481673672033422009-11-24T20:25:54.655-05:002009-11-24T20:25:54.655-05:00I am always looking for orphan Thanksgiving guests...I am always looking for orphan Thanksgiving guests.
