Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. What are you doing or what traditions do you have.
We go to my sil's , she lives right by us, so we don't have to travel far. She does the Thanksgiving get together and we do the Christmas get together. We do the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. It is a very relaxing and laid back day, even with all the cooking and cleaning up.
Full Version: Happy Thanksgiving
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!! Thanksgiving is held in our home with about 25-30 of us. I enjoy cooking and do most of it and we do the traditional Thanksgiving as well. Two weeks ago was deer hunting opener and I have done the full blown Turkey dinner for that every year for a while now...had 35 come for dinner this year.
Looking forward to it.
Again....Happy Thanksgiving to all of you

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! We're going to my moms--should be about 30 people there--my sisters and 1-3 brothers and their families. Always a good time--everybody brings a dish and we talk and laugh and cut up w/ each other all afternoon. Then we'll head over to my sil for desert w/ part of my dh's family (they all work at the racetrack on Thanksgiving so it's a small deal w/ them.) Hope everybody has a good time.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!! Since I'm working xmas eve and my hubby is working xmas night, we decided to hold Thanksgiving at my house with my in-laws and friends...enjoying some football and good food!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. My Mom and I usually cook for two days for our Thanksgiving meal, but this year it will be just me.
I'm just thankful for my Mom getting through her heart surgery and hoping everything goes well with her recovery.

OK, Just had to share this one to start your Holiday with a good laugh.
A friend sent this to me....too funny! 2 stories.
One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store.
When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen,
and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.
With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, 'Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!'At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry.
It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!
And another one. Last year I was trying to get the giblet package out of a semi-frozen turkey. Busted a wooden spoon in the process. Replaced broken spoon with metal one and as I tugged and tugged, something popped, exploded from inside the turkey, brown and gooey. I freaked out, thought I had a deformed turkey that hadn't been cleaned right, etc. I'm standing there with this poop colored stuff all over my face, hair and shirt and realized that it was a packet of gravy that was included inside. Who the heck puts gravy inside a turkey?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You!!! That's all I'm sayin'!!!
I like turkey; and, when I cook it I rarely ever stuff it...I thought I was just getting a small one...I was just gonna cook the gunk with the bird to feed to the cats later...If I hadn't changed my mind last minute; I would've cooked that stupid gravy packet with the bird!!! 
BTW...I've broken a wooden spoon too...For the exact same reason...I can't begin to tell you how many times I've been up 'til 2am cooking a turkey; 'cause, it sounded good at the grocery at 9:30!!! 
Hope ya'll have a very happy thanksgiving! We got our pies made today, 2 pumpkin & 2 apple(one is sugar free). Made a cranberry/orange relish and started the pineapple/orange jello salad thing. made other preps for tomorrow. We'll had to our friends house about 2:30 in the afternoon. have dinner then play dominos then dessert
