Yep, just one son. That's my family. I affectionately call him "the boy".

I am so happy for you. I truly understand the bond you have with your son. My Michael will be home the end of January and that is when we are having Christmas and I am already excited.
So what will the menu be? Does your son have some favorites? Apple or pumpkin pie, ham or turkey?
Corn or beans. Or all of the above.

Funny you should ask. All he wants is my stuffing. I told him it's kinda hard to do w/out the turkey. Actually, this year he wants to go out for Tday. I've always made it a practice to invite people who have no family and nowhere to go but no one seems to reciprocate. I have no family here; this is his first Tday home in 11 years and no one has ever invited me so he said "Why do all that cooking, Mom? Let's go out to a nice restaurant and you take it easy for once." I told him he'll regret that come evening and there's no left over stuffing.

Well you are welcome to come here Mary, you and your son are very very welcome.

Oh how I relate to that! My son and granddaughter would rather have the stuffing than the turkey. It's gotten so now that not only do I stuff the turkey, but make the crockpot full too! Not as good as cooked IN the turkey, but it solves the problem of never being enough!!

And how great that your son is going to be with you this year!
