All my family is located, for the most part, in the Northeast, and it's hard for me to reconcile leaving South Florida to fight the holiday traffic and deal with everything that is air travel these days in order to eat a big, uncomfortable meal and freeze my a** off.
But kudos to those of you who have the patience and the motivation to take it on. For you, I have the following video of what is probably my favorite Publix commercial ever. Between the music, which is Pat Metheny's Last Train Home, and the overwhelming joyous feel to the thing, which is really what the holidays are all about for most everyone, it is one heckuva clip. And, really, you have to love the Florida touch at the end.
Enjoy it and happy and safe travels to those of you who are hitting the roads, rails and skyways today. If you feel like it, feel free to use the comments to share your thoughts or plans for the holiday.

Ah, the annual Publix clip. I too decided against flying north for turkey. Ive had enough air travel and the costs are freakin absurd. Have a nice Thanksgiving, Rick.
Happy T-Day to all... And to all a good nap!
OK, that almost got me teary eyed. I am staying home and making turkey stuffing roll ups for two. I do miss my family ( all in the Northeast as well) but the usual suspects: cost and cold, are keeping us at home.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody. We'll be giving tours all weekend. If anyone wants to join us for a free City Tour on Sunday, just give us a call and mention SFDB. We're sold out Thursday, Friday & Saturday. You can watch a video and learn more about the tour at MiamiTourCompany.com
Man, I was thinking about that tune all week! Thanks for posting this. I love that!
It ain't Christmas until I hear that!
BTW, I love Christmas Vacation too. As well as A Christmas Story.
Have a good holiday.

I can gladly say that with most of the family in Florida, and California, we will be staying in-state, as tradition goes.
Matter of fact, preparations for tomorrow are underway. I'm cookin' up a mean Coffee Liqueur Ice Cream Pie, as per the Food Network.
Cheers to all, and Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm hanging with family here and hopefully seeing some old high school friends. Oh and on Saturday I might be ... you guessed it ... volunteering at Fairchild! :-)
Happy thanksgiving!
