Thanksgiving often entails chilling on the couch all day. Chilling on the couch all day means loads of time for knitting. I love to knit, but have had severely limited time to do so since I started high school. I try to make time, but I always end up feeling that there's something "more productive" I could be doing like studying or reading or cleaning. So over these three years, I've picked up the habit of only really knitting on long car trips and while watching TV.When I picked up this habit freshman year, I didn't really expect to stop watching TV, but that kind of happened. Gone is my weekly time to knit. It only ever happens sporadically, when I watch a movie or something. Yet on Thanksgiving, I always sit down on the couch at 8 am for the Macy's Parade and then stick around for the dog show and subsequent James Bond, Harry Potter, or Christmas movie marathons and then don't get up until dinner. I spend the entire day knitting and I get so much done.Knitting, as one might guess, takes a long time, and productivity is slow in coming, but very rewarding, so I value Thanksgiving beyond words.
Very much a creature of habit, this becomes a major issue when the parents casually mentioned that we'd be going to Michigan to spend Thanksgiving with the extended family. It through me off, but I adjusted and still spent the day watching movies and knitting.
