Ours was! We relaxed and got to video chat with family members which was really nice. It doesn't take the place of being there with them, but it sure beats a regular phone call. After that I cleaned the house and Ash cooked up a storm laying out a delicious spread of Tofurkey stuffed with wild rice stuffing, roasted veggies, fresh rosemary buttermilk mashed potatoes, almond herb gravy, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce.
We noshed, laid around for a bit trying to recover from the post food coma, loved on our furry cat children, and then some friends came over and we visited and relaxed for a while. I believe this was our first holiday away from "home"... and while it was a little sad, we still felt a great sense of accomplishment that we are starting to make our own traditions and our own new sense of home.
