"It’s been waiting for you." -Taylor Swift
This year, the Artemas sisters decided to spend Thanksgiving in New York. Maria has never come home for Thanksgiving with tight timing and over-priced flights around her class schedule, and this is one of the first times Dad’s priest schedule felt real when our parents couldn’t come due to sacraments at church.
Needless to say, Thanksgiving with the sisters turned into nine days in New York, and seeing more than 20 family members and friends across the city. We explored Midtown, went to the Thanksgiving Day parade, cooked ourselves and relaxed to make it a great holiday.
