Happy Thanksgiving All!

Post here what some of your holiday traditions are. Mine is spending time with family and friends. I do the cooking all day today as well as baking the pies and cakes we have. I am also going to watch the Cowboys beat up on the Bucs!!!

GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!

My family always goes to my grandma's house in Gary, IN which is a very scary town. Her house is only about 700 square foot and I have 4 aunts and 3 unlcles on that side of the family and my grandma has 11 grandkids....its a pack house but at least I dont do any cooking.....lol

Just got the last of the in-laws out the door from our feast *kicks*
We all pitch in and cook a big turkey dinner here (I live in Maine, USA).Turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, peas, carrots, yams...and other stuff. Then 6 different kinds of pie, ice cream and assorted other dessert goodies. *loosens belt*

Happy Thanksgiving!

As you get older, Traditions change. Starting a few years ago, Turky day moved from my folks house to my house. And I love it. I'm a pretty good cook so I make the meal and the ladies clean-up. Which works out good since it's also a good American football day.
Also, I always listen to Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant". A local radio station in NYC had started a tradition about 30 odd years ago, of playing that each Thanksgiving @ noon. it's an 18 odd minute song.

On the menu today

Turkey
Spiral ham
Lasagna
Potatoes (mashed), sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli w/cheese, stuffing, cranberry sauce.
3 homemade pies (aplle, pumpkin & coconut custard) and also some of my wife's home made candy.
I'd say we have about 18 for dinner today.
Dang, I'm full already.

psst, it's actual more fun on Friday with the leftovers and more FOOTBALL!


Best wishes for a joyous day with those you care about.

"You are simply too full to eat any more."

My mashed potatoes turned out extremely lumpy this year. Oh well. At least we make them from real potatoes and not instant. OMFG INSTANT POTAITOS R TEH GIMP!!1 :<

StoveTop is yumm!

Damin and Rascal need to head a little south! Im down in MA

As far as Turkey day trasditions; if my moms sausage stuffing isnt there, it just aint right!

Leftover sandwiches are a big part of it too! :_

YUM!

We used to have all of our holidays at my grandparents. They moved into a Senior Apt complex and dinners have been at my Aunts. I hate to say it, but she has nothing on my grans cooking! Usually all my aunts and uncles & cousins on my moms side would meet at my grans. We'd have Turkey, Ham, Roasted Potatos - YUMMMMM, watergate, stuffing, stringbeans w/garlic,Cranberry, Ravoli's/Spaghetti, Lots of wine & bread and desserts and more I forgot to mention.

This year it was just my Aunt Cindy & her family & two sisters and mom. grandparents were in Texas and my Uncle was hunting it just didn't feel right

The good news though, my Aunt said that next year we're going to take a family trip to Las Vegas! Yay!

Gah your all making me feel hungry,hehe Sounds like your all set for a great few days of holiday feasting .

Where ever you are HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING .

A special Greeting to all those spending the holiday alone *HUGGS*
