This is going to be a different Thanksgiving but it had better be the same Christmas

It has been seven years since our oldest son, Jon, has been home for Thanksgiving. When he was attending the Colorado School of Mines in Colorado it was too expensive to fly him home for Thanksgiving and then turn right around and fly him back home again for Christmas.  And now that he is in graduate school at the U of Chicago and paying his own way through life, it is still a bit expensive to fly home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
