Starting two years ago, my teenage sister and I started Rickrolling every family holiday by parading around the house with a boom box blaring, lip syncing and wearing matching ridiculous outfits. This year, we're dressing as Native Americans. We're very mature... hahaha.

3) Do you have the traditional turkey dinner or something else? Traditional dinner with a few modern twists.
4) How are you spending your Black Friday and Weekend? Not sure yet. These days my weekends are spontaneous, and depend on what Mike's schedule turns out to be. We're hoping to go for a Harley ride if the weather's still nice. We haven't taken it out in months.
5) What is a special tradition you have at the holiday? No special traditions yet. Actually, I take that back. We do a Race for the Hungry 5k every year on Thanksgiving morning, and then go home to feast.
6) name 5 things you thankful for. Mike, Chazzykins, mi familia, my wonderful job, You guys!
1) How many days do you have off this week? Since I am a student, I have technically been off since 1 pm yesterday. I do have a paper due by email Wednesday, though, so it's not like I'm not working.
2) How are you spending your Thanksgiving? Here! My parents are flying in from Vermont for it!
3) Do you have the traditional turkey dinner or something else? We will have a traditional turkey, but it will be BBQed.
4) How are you spending your Black Friday and Weekend? Black Friday we are hitting the sales! Then that night we're going to a murder mystery dinner. On Saturday we will probably visit my grandma, and then my parents leave early Sunday morning.
5) What is a special tradition you have at the holiday? We get up early and have hot chocolate while watching the parade in our pajamas. If we're in a hotel (which we won't be) we order room service breakfast, so this year I think I'll make everyone waffles.
6) name 5 things you thankful for.
1. Mine and DH's health.
2. The roof over our heads, the food we eat and the clothes we wear. We may not be wealthy but we certainly have enough.
3. A loving, wonderful family who are alive and I actually look forward to seeing. I know many people are not this lucky.
4. DH's job, the only revenue stream we have right now.
5. Obama is the president. Sure, he could be doing more, but I think he's had a decent start and just the fact that he was elected means so much.

1) How many days do you have off this week? Three full days (Wednesay, Thursday, Friday)
2) How are you spending your Thanksgiving? With my FIL and some of his family.
3) Do you have the traditional turkey dinner or something else? Traditional mostly, but they'll have to have some "non-traditional" things, as my hubby is a vegetarian.
4) How are you spending your Black Friday and Weekend? Shopping on Friday, probably followed by viewing number two...or three if I go tomorrow...of *New Moon*. Catching up on grading and homework Saturday and Sunday.
5) What is a special tradition you have at the holiday? For Thanksgiving, none really. Black Friday shopping is the closest.
6) name 5 things you thankful for. My husband, my family, my job(s), my friends, and *Twilight* (y'all gave me no choice, really, I had to say it).
1) How many days do you have off this week? Thursday and Friday. I convinced my boss we should take Friday off and go shopping.
2) How are you spending your Thanksgiving? Lunch at my parents and dinner with M's family
3) Do you have the traditional turkey dinner or something else? My mom is from S. Korea so her side dishes aren't "traditional" thanksgiving food. We have egg rolls, fried rice, etc as well.
4) How are you spending your Black Friday and Weekend? Getting up early Friday morning and going shopping with M's parents while he sleeps in.
5) What is a special tradition you have at the holiday? We don't really have any traditions besides where dinner/lunch will be at.
6) name 5 things you thankful for. Health, my job, M, our families, and having a home.
1) How many days do you have off this week? One. Thanksgiving Day only.
2) How are you spending your Thanksgiving? Cooking, eating, watching football, playing board games
3) Do you have the traditional turkey dinner or something else? Yep. Traditional all the way.
4) How are you spending your Black Friday and Weekend? I'll be waking up ridiculously early to shop with my Mom (who is flying in to spend Thanksgiving Day with us), then going to work on Black Friday. That evening we're driving up to Orland Park to spend the weekend with DH's family and have another Thanksgiving meal.
5) What is a special tradition you have at the holiday? Black Friday shopping with my Mom; DH's uncle makes these amazing Swedish pancakes for breakfast. We used to do the Turkey Trot for the past few years, but no way I'm doing it this year.
6) name 5 things you thankful for. Our newly-established family (DH, baby in the belly, and my dog), our health, our good jobs, having all my needs met, and owning a home.
1. Technically 1. I banked enough time last week and this week that I can take Friday off too though. Yeah, this would be the time of year I pay for the time off I took for the wedding/honeymoon and my cousins funeral.
2. I have no clue. It would be nice if DHs work would tell us if he's working, thats the deciding factor. If he's working, I'll go to my cousins a couple hours away. If he's not, we'll probably have a relaxing day at home as he'll be wiped out.
3.Turkey
4. No plans. Probably getting stuff done around the house. Our shopping is pretty much done and there's no way in H*LL you'll get me near a store on Black Friday.
5. To me all the family ones are normal, so I 'm not sure what the rest of you don't do. DH and I don't have any set ones yet.
6. DH, dog, house that won't frickin sell (but that we're lucky to have), that I still have a job after our merger, that when we move we'll be closer to family
