Where are you going
for thanksgiving?
If your the host what are you making?
If your traveling what are you bringing?

Re: Where are you going

Jeff's parent's house in NJ
If your the host what are you making?
N/A
If your traveling what are you bringing?
We might bring toasted pumpkin seeds and/or pecan pie
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales?
Absolutely not. Maybe online later to see what's good.
Can you believe chritmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!!
Nooooooooooooo
for thanksgiving? We'll be with J's family since Christmas is with mine.
If your the host what are you making? Not hosting. I don't think our apartment would be a great idea to host a big family.
If your traveling what are you bringing? Probably baked apples. I haven't decided yet. I have cooks/bakers' ADD.
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales? Hell no. I wouldn't leave my family to be outside with a bunch of crazies - no sale is great enough for me to deal with massive crowds.

This is my husband to a T....he calls it one stop shopping. Thats because he goes one day usually the day before xmas eve and shops! I on the other hand start now since I buy all the family gifts if it were up to him the families would still be getting the unigift!
for thanksgiving? unknown. possibly CA w/ DH's family. if not, then we're unsure at this point
If your the host what are you making? N/A
If your traveling what are you bringing? if CA, nothing. if my mom's, I always do the mashed potatoes and breakfast (butter braid). If DH's house, I don't bring anything
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales? Not 11pm, but I will get up at 3 if I like ON's sale again. Last year was my first Black Friday and I got all my major shopping done by 7am. It was fantastic. Trying to rope DH into participating. It's much easier for one to stand in line and another to shop. Especially if you have a written game plan like I did/do.
Can you believe chritmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!! Can't wait! That's plenty of time
for thanksgiving? to my cousins and then to DH's grandparents on the weekend
If your the host what are you making? n/a
If your traveling what are you bringing? probably nothing i'm a bad guest. lol
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales? hell no
for thanksgiving? I'm hosting
If your the host what are you making? I didn't make the menu yet. Definitely turkey, in and out of the bird stuffing, gravy (will need my mom's assistance), mashed potatoes, some sweet potato dish, roasted brussels sprouts, not sure what else.
If your traveling what are you bringing? I am heading upstate to my aunt's the next day, and there I will bring wine.
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales? I will be drunk at 11 p.m.
Can you believe chritmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!! I hate the Christmas rat race.
for thanksgiving?
going up to see my extended family in NJ - found out over the weekend my Mom and her fiance (they got engaged on halloween!!!) will be coming up too!
If your the host what are you making?
n/a
If your traveling what are you bringing?
i think i'm just going to make pumpkin bread and banana bread to take up there...my mom is making her fabulous cheesecake to take
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales?
hellz-to-the-no! the deals that black friday pretends to have really aren't that great since they jack up the prices right before and do price cuts on black friday that are still well above MSRP - you can get good deals before and after Turkey Day if you keep your eyes open
Can you believe chritmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!!
i've only bought 2 gifts so far, for my mom's fiance at that! don's gift is a ps3 so that'll have to wait for my xmas bonus, which might mean i'm out on xmas eve getting it (which i hate shopping on that day)
HAHAHA this is me. At any family event.
for thanksgiving?
I'm from Canada, so we had Thanksgiving last month, but we went to my parents house which is about a 45 minute drive
If your the host what are you making?
I didn't host
If your traveling what are you bringing?
My mom won't allow us to bring anything with us, so we just took ourselves and my younger sister home
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales?
I'm kind of jealous of black Friday sales, because we don't get that here, but at the same time I'm not sure I would want to deal with the crazy crowds. I would like to experience it once though.
Can you believe chritmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!!
No, thats crazy. H and I are going on a late honeymoon in December so we will be gone for 15 days, so we have even less shopping time!
for thanksgiving? I found out I may be hosting 2 thanksgivings.
If your the host what are you making? It hasn't really been discussed yet, but I believe damn.near.everything would be a good start.
If your traveling what are you bringing? n/a
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales? it depends. If Walmart or Kohls have something that I absolutely.have.to.buy than I'll go out in the morning, but if not I'm just going to stay home and get the cyber Monday sales.
Can you believe chritmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!! SHH! I'm not even done shopping for ME yet for un-Christmas related stuff.

i have gone shopping on black friday once. in colorado. at some outlets near A-basin. it went GREAT. hardly any lines or mayhem. we went at about 9am and were done by 4, a full day of good shopping and no stress! i am hoping it will be like that for me this year too
i guess i need to start making a christmas list so i know what i need to buy for everyone and can then make a plan of when i will need to buy it.

We're going to J's mom's side for Thanksgiving
If your the host what are you making? n/a
If your traveling what are you bringing?
We're bringing homemade mac and cheese (still have to find a recipe) and some ubber good cheesecake bites and possibly a turkey since no one else is...
waiting in lines for black friday sales?
I might go with my mom if she gets up Friday morning but I won't be getting anything.
Can you believe christmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!! um no but that means my birthday is in 42 days!! Oh and I pretty much have everyone's presents thought out...hello DIY super cute coasters and scarves
If we weren't both married, if we were both gay, and if we were in a state where it's legal, I would marry you

Ah yes, the Silverthorne outlets. I can't imagine there EVER being mayhem there, it's so chill up in the mtn towns
Going- to in-laws. It's a grueling 6 mile hike from our house
Taking - either Butternut Squash or Portobello Mushroom soup and possibly the turkey. DH makes a killer turkey. He soaks it in brine for 2 days.
Shopping - God no. Can't think of anything less appealing. And I'm like the others. Hopefully I'll be deep into a glass of Bailey's or bubbly.
Believe Christmas is coming? I guess I can. They are already hanging decorations and playing ads on TV!!! Shameless.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
for thanksgiving? To the in-laws, since my mom's side of the family is spread out and have no idea what some are doing; DH and I are going to his folks out. Low key and good food.
If your the host what are you making? not hosting
If your traveling what are you bringing? Salad and chocolate chip cookie bars
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales? no, I'll probably be asleep by then, lol.
Can you believe christmas is in 52 days which means you have 51 shopping days!!!! yes and no.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
I would NEVER go to the outlets here in Gilroy. Did it once and I will never do it again. The stores open at midnight. The parking lot in insanely full. I went to The Gap one year at 1:00 am and the line wrapped around the entire store twice!
I would not even attempt to go to the Coach outlet. Women camp outside really early. I've heard of a few fights over purses, that is insane!
for thanksgiving?
IL's house for lunch and then my dads house for dessert.
If your the host what are you making?
no hosting for me this year, maybe in a couple of years.
If your traveling what are you bringing?
I'm bring ing homemade mac & cheese to my dads and thats it.
Do you plan to be out at 11 pm waiting in lines for black friday sales?
Heck yes, we got our laptop like that last year (saved about 175 $) and this year we are getting a new flat screen for the living room. Of course my lazy a** won't be out there but H and his cousin will happily be waiting in line all night.
hahahah! Ditto! Xoxo
I am going to brine this year...does your hubby make his own or buy it?
