How TiVo saved Thanksgiving

It's a classic Texas dilemma: you want to enjoy the togetherness and deliciousness of a Thanksgiving meal with your family, but dangit the Cowboys always play in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Day. So what's a family like mine to do, especially with a father, brothers and a recent ex-pat who refuse to miss the game? Eat way later? Eat turkey for breakfast?
Thank goodness this Thanksgiving was held at my brother's house. Why? Because Micah has TiVo. With a flick of a pause button we gathered for the gluttonous exercise that is Thanksgiving, prayed, laughed and shared what we were thankful for, and then whoosh, back to the living room, resume game, fast forward through commercials and bam, all is well.
And that's how TiVo saved Thanksgiving.

Sounds like you and the fam had a wonderful time! Please send them my best. :-) It was just us three for Thanksgiving this year, and I didn't do a turkey. Too much pressure! But we were thankful for beef and enjoyed our steaks. Miss you, love you!! Renee
