What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

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.

i'm planning on a few vegan options for Thanksgiving

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.

Oh, I forgot about Black Friday. The thought of elbowing other people in the head at 12:01 a.m. so I can rush into some big, crazy store like Walmart and step on toes so I can cram an 80" TV I don't want or need into my 45" cart, then trying to fit it into my car and end up using bungie cords to tie it to the roof, then having it bounce off the car and hit the pavement because of a pot hole...nah.
Instead I might buy my cats some turkey flavored Fancy Feast and take 100 photos of them eating so I can post them on Facebook.

<--yeah.

No worries! A lot of the box stores are so greedy that they are open on Thanksgiving Day so you don't have to wait until 12:01 anymore.

Like everything else, I miss the old days when you got into line around 5am and that was the 'early line'. It had more camaraderie and less carnage too.

Personally, I will make something for myself...maybe an extra treat for the fur babies….and I will take that day and the next day to do work around the house and maybe take in a movie at the theatre. Nothing fancy. No extra company. Just me, myself and the two sets of eyes that follow me around everywhere.
