Have A Turkey Of A Day

I wasn't sure if I was going to do it. That is, post a Happy Thanksgiving post. I mean, how many posts can there be that are offering happy wishes for a great turkey day? But I would be remiss to not at least offer a little something of well wishes and good eats to my dear friends here on MyLot—especially my fellow American MyLotters who celebrate this very American holiday. So there you have it. My turkey day contribution. I hope you all have good times with family and friends, get stuffed, and I shall look forward to hearing about all of the leftovers you will be eating in a million different ways in the next month. I will try to be somewhat active, but this will be a pretty busy day for me. The wifey wants to get the Christmas stuff done outside, and we'll have mom over for a meatloaf tonight for dinner, so there's that. We will be gathering with the family on Saturday for our Thanksgiving dinner since we had to work around some work schedules. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Thanks. I'm makin spaghetti and there's sausage links in the sauce,

Hmmmmm, I wonder if Flamingo tastes better than Turkey?

Have a great gathering with family and don't forget to nap before dessert.

You CANNOT go wrong with sausage links in spaghetti sauce, let me tell you. As for what flamingo tastes like I have no idea. Never ate a flamingo. Not sure I ever will. Really hard to find flamingo in the stores, and if I hang around the zoo with a shotgun looking to bag one I may have three hots and a cot instead. Thanks and hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday as well.

@rebelann "Three hots and a cot" typically refers to time in jail. You get three hot meals a day and a place to sleep.

@just4him It was, and as always, way too much food. But lots of leftovers.

Good to see this tradition is going strong. Wonder if there is any change though.

Not really, although many families have their own traditions for the holiday.

We don’t have thanksgiving but I can guess it’s a delightful event being with your family and getting stuffed.

@porwest maybe it’s like our version of noche buena on Christmas Eve.

@sol_cee It could be. Of course Thanksgiving here is rooted in our history for a specific reason unique to our country.

Indeed it is. In fact, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year.

It really doesn't matter what day we celebrate, being with family is the most important. We had Thanksgiving yesterday and enjoyed the leftovers today. Hope your celebration will be wonderful.

Same here. That's really what Thanksgiving is about for me. Time with family and friends. It's a good excuse to have something to eat and of course something to drink as well. Rarely is it not a good time.

Happy work day to you.

I had to smile at "the wifey" but the old saying is "if mama ain`t happy no one is!" Have a wonderful day.

"If mama ain't happy no one is!" You know it, and thanks to the wifey I am all too aware.

Enjoy the holiday my friend.

Well, we will have our turkey on Saturday when we gather with the family. We had to work around some work schedules.
