Same as usual..... with family and any others that end up there. Sometimes friends join us, mine or my cousins usually. Or significant others etc.

Oh and good food.............

girl_dee · 10-17-2018, 07:10 PM

I will be with ALL of my family over the span of the week.

SO excited!

We are having a family gathering and massive feast at my Dad's house. It will be the first holiday since his passing, and the last Thanksgiving we have in the house since we are planning to put it on the market later next year.

It will be good to fill the house with lots of love, family, and memories. Plus the food is going to be amazing, bright_arrow makes an AMAZING pumpkin pie. Seriously, its worth every single bite.

Hopefully a family reunion with cousins, Aunts, and Uncles. We're trying to find a block of hotel rooms that can accommodate two adult cousins who need wheelchairs and suites for the younger cousins to have slumber parties in.

kittygrrl · 10-20-2018, 12:13 PM

i'm planning on a few vegan options for Thanksgiving

nina03 · 10-20-2018, 12:22 PM

We used to do a big family dinner every year. I did all the cooking for about twenty people. When I started law school, I realized I couldn't do it anymore, and a new tradition was born. Now we stay home, in our pajamas all day. We only cook the parts of Thanksgiving dinner that we like the most, and we watch the parade and dog show and movies. It's a wonderful retreat from the rest of the world. We don't do black Friday shopping, either, so that whole weekend is quiet and peaceful.

If it is suppose to be pretty weather, think I will try to find a camping spot

Airline travel is arranged, reservations are made, plans have been set in motion! It's been years since I've spent Thanksgiving or Christmas for that matter with my blood family........

It isn't possible to meet my family in Chicago again this year, so I'm going to Plan B which involves a traveling companion and hopefully another wonderful time in and around Portland........

Chad · 10-12-2019, 05:39 PM

I have no idea what we are doing. I have some ideas but nothing planned yet. I will make it fun and different, that is the plan so far.

I am not a big fan of holidays.

In a phone call earlier this week I finally firmed up my Thanksgiving plans..

I will drive up to Portland and meet my Chicago Traveling Companion that'll be flying in. We plan to spend close to a week there, discovering new places and doing the things we just didn't have time to our last visit there.

Unfortunately these plans fell through, so it's back to the drawing board.....

Make the most of your holiday in Chicago by adding these seasonal activities to your itinerary.Hop-on Hop-off Red Bus Tour, Christmas Market, ZooLights,
Thanksgiving Day Parade, Mag Mile Lights festival, and last check out the most amazing Holiday windows.

I've done all of the above and highly recommend all........
