Same thing as every year... run a race in the morning and then big dinner at my parents house with the rest of the family. NO shopping for me...

Thanksgiving.. That's the time of year i look forward to but dread the most.. I like the visit from the family.. But i hate the cooking! You spend all day from 4 am to 12 pm cooking you eat.. Then quick nap! Yes people turkey makes you sleepy! It's a proven fact! My family always sleeps after a thanksgiving meal.. After that.. You spend most of the day cleaning up what you did earlier that morning.. We usually eat on the thanksgiving meal all day.. Because it was cooked most of the day.. We usually have people come over throughout the day.So we keep it out and feast on it whenever..  I thought about downsizing the thanksgiving meals for a while now.. Because big meals just tire a person out but at least you sleep good on that day.. Cuz you get full. Of course if you were the one cooking then eating you will sleep like a baby! Woot thanksgiving they say is usually a time to spend with your family.. But i don't really see that.. Because they come for the meal and then take a hike..haha! It's not like christmas were they stay a while.. Thanksgiving is cool though.. I suppose.. You have some things to give thanks about anyways.. I wonder if we change the traditional meal and do like a bbq outside or a night out dinner.. If that would be better than just spending all day cooking a full blown meal..I do love the pumkin pie though thats the best part (: NOM NOM NOM

My daughter and I plan to have a nice turkey dinner with children and grandchildren and husbands present.  She has to work most holidays, so we wanted to make this one special.

We usually have a big family dinner but we decided to go out to dinner this year as a family. We will see how it works out. Maybe a new tradition will be born.

Going out to mybrothers and his family. There is only the 2 of us and they have a big family.  I will do some of the cooing and take out with me. As  my sister-in-law is not up to par and it will be awhile. But she likes the family there.

Around 30 years ago, I bought a 35-pound turkey I also had the roasting pan for the big one.  I remember when I was a child the famous line here in my household was please buy a turkey that fits in our oven.  The turkeys in our history was huge.  We are having our turkey here at home, actually I can't wait until I go shopping for the turkey because it is a big thing for my hubby and I to do together.

I will be going to my daughter's house and spending time with her and her family.  We will be cooking and enjoying each other's company.  I will watch the boys so they can go Black Friday shopping.

I think this year will be a little bore for us because every one have move out and can't make it for this Thanksgiving.  I don't think we have any plan at all but well see.

I'm rotating with my extended family now and this year I will be going to one of my uncle's for Thanksgiving. Wherever we go, however, we always do potluck style.  This year I'm handling the rice and a vegetable dish.

No plans but usually I just make a small dinner at home to eat, then I may go visit other family that have invited me over and enjoy that time with them. I like to have a good time when I am with my family
