What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

We're going out of town - up to Colorado.

How about you?

Spending the day at my mom's house with family and friends.

ult

At home with the Wife, Kids, (maybe a couple "foreign" college students if they take us up on the offer) and NFL Football!!!

We've decided to start a new tradition. Everyone makes two requests for what we have for Thanksgiving meal.....no matter what. Well, I have two kids so this could have been interesting. The results were surprisingly normal:

The 4 year old - Marshmellows and Pizza
The 7 year old - Turkey and Mashed Potatoes (she saved us!)
The Wife - Sweet Potatoes and undecided yet
Myself - Green Bean cassarole and Apple Pie

Thursday me and my dad will go to my sister's house (her, her husband, and my niece and newphew) and have dinner. My mom and her husband will also be there and possibly my step sisters and their kids. Then when I get back home I'll need to get ready for work (overnight, and yes I will get to witness the beginnig of Black Friday ).

My wife & I will go to my parents for dinner, along with my brother & his fiancee, then the 6 of us will go to my sister-in-law's, where most of my wife's family will be, for dessert.

Nothing Thanksgiving isn't important where I live. I think that Thanksgiving isn't important for people who doesn't live in USA.

Lot's of beer and strip clubs all day. (my usual Thursday activities)

We usually go to my Mother-in-laws for Dinner,then spend the afternoon watching movies.

nothing special

we're havin thanksgiving here, at my family's house, but its kind of scary since both my parents work until wednesday night, so theres gonna be a lot to do on thursday morning! also, we're inviting a G.I. over from the war, who can't go back to wherever they live in the U.S.

Hope everyone has a GOOD TIME and eats LOTS of turkey!!!

Staying home - my brother, his wife, my niece (3 months old) and father in law are coming over, Turkey (big fresh one my wife & kids picked up at Wegman's) and then the Cowboys game!

My Mom is hosting Thanksgiving this year (we had it at our house last year, it'll be our turn again next time)... so all I have to do is show up, eat like a pig, drink all the beer, and go home

Yea, that pretty much sums it up for me as well. However, for unlimited turkey and pie, I'll make the exception for one day.

Well, I'm on my way up to Colorado soon. You guys have fun. I'll be gone from the boards for the rest of the week.

It's always on a Thursday in November, for reasons I'm not quite sure about. I thought it was the last Thursday in November, but that doesn't apply this year, so it blows out that theory. For most Americans, it's a time of the year to get together with family and share a big meal and give thanks. Unlike Christmas, typically gifts are not exchaged. It's also the kick-off to the Christmas holiday, despite what retailers are trying to tell us by putting out Christmas decorations after Labor Day.
