what does your family do for thanks giving?

Turkey Turkey Day woo hoo can't wait. I love the Turkey. forgot that part. mashed potatoes. Love it

I make thankgiving dinner at my house for my son and some of my friends and my Mom now that she is in state for that instead of being down south. The rest of my family I don't have has they have no respect for house rules. No drinking or smoking other things that I don't believe in. Cig. yes but that they have to do outside now as I'm trying to cut back to stop. LOL wish me luck on that. I have never really liked alot of people over. We had that when I was a kid got stuck doing dishes and waiting on people. I hated it. Now I get the Big turkey and make and eat they part I want. And I don't have to save for something else. I did try the family thing for a couple of years. They tried for I'm here to get a plate to go. NO. So now back to me and my son and now my Mom and new roommate and his son. Your friend Onlydia.

It depends from year to year !! Sometimes we go out when we are invited somewhere for dinner and sometime we have it here at home and inivte family over and sometimes we do nothing at all . It really depends on how much money we have at that time of the year , if we can afford to buy a turkey or not . When we do have dinner here we have a big turkey dinner with a stuffed turkey , mashed potatoes , scallop potatoes , vegetables , cranberries and something , usually a pie for desert .

I usually end up cooking the turkey and fixings and it is me, my husband, our 4 kids, my mother, and my father-in-law. I make a turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with brown sugar and marshmallow topping, rolls and butter, fruit salad with whipped cream and marshmallows, pumpkin pie and apple pie. Besides all that I have to put on a steak for my husband as he does not eat turkey. Otherwise, if I don't cook my husband takes us all out to a Thanksgiving buffet at a fancy hotel where it is all you can eat. He hates turkey so I know he does this for selfish reasons. I know there are no leftovers this way, but I don't have to cook and I don't have to clean it up. I can always buy some pumpkin and apple pies to have at home for leftovers of that throughout the week. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

everybody ususally comes here. we'll be short this year. i have lost ny mother & father both this year. my kids & grandkids will come & if i hear of anybody else that doesn't have somewhere to go i invite them to.

It usually is different every year. Each year my family takes turns where we have Thanksgiving at. One year we'll do it at one house, next year we'll do it at another, the next at another, etc. Although I think in the last year or two my immediate family and I have eaten at our or my sister's and brother-in-law's house. We eat the usual--turkey, dressing, the like.

We are going to my younger son and his fiance's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It will be the only time we will be there, because it is her house, and my son sold his house, and now they are buying a new house, well almost new. I think they are having my older son and daughter-in-law over as well as my precious little grand daughter. I hope the dinner is fine, but do not know how much I can eat as I am pre diabetic. I do hope they have plenty of vegetables and salad.

I was alawys home for thanksgiving but this year my boyfriend and i got our own place and I am not sure if we are going to do anything anyway. We will have somethign but I don't know if we are going to do the whole thankgivivng turkey thing or not.

We are not big on thanksgiving here in my country. It is no big deal here so we don't really celebrate it and go the whole nine yards like what people in other countries do. I guess we celebrate more our fiestas, christmas and new year.

Since the rest of my family are far away from us only me, my parents and my brother celebrates thanksgiving together. We just have a good meal. On the weekend we go shopping either here or cross-border. We go out of town anywhere. Since turkey might be too big for the 4 of us we just serve stuffed chicken instead hehe. Today I am planning to invite my boyfriend here. I have to check what we are serving first hehe.

At one time my two brothers and I and our families would gather at our parents place and have a wonderful feast but now that my parents have moved and my hubby retired from the army, we didn't move back to our home state but instead, a state below it and my parents moved south of our home state and now are closer to hubby and I but are now 4 and 5 hours away from my brothers. Last year we had Thanksgiving together, just the four of us. This year I'm hoping to gather our family back together again but I doubt I will thanks to my brother(s) for I know one will have one excuse or another as to why.

My family also comes to my place at that time we enjoy by preparing good dishes and sharing all good moments. and each and everyone want to have a good dinner. My parents all are in mumbai we usually visit them also at that time aslo the same thing they take us for watching movie etc. But my husband family is kerala. We go to kerala once in a year of after 2-3 years we visit. When we visit them Kerala the house of my husband is like we are celebratiing some festival, all are happy and all his sisters brothers and in-laws all come together and have fun. so nice. But next year I have to go to kerala with my children without my husbnd as he left for heavenly aboard this year May 29th. I dont know how I will face the situation.I have not travelled without him for last 20 years to his native place. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

For the last couple years our friends invited us. It's very nice when we go there. All our friends are there and we have a great time. They never want us to bring anything, but we always make something to take.
