Who loves THANKSGIVING???
Oh man I'm pretty sure Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. at least the kind you have to spend with family. Lately we've had T-day at my parents house and my sister and I split cooking duties. She does turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls and I do stuffing, a casserole, and a veggie dish. And we each do an apple pie, originally we called it a competition but we never actually had scores or anything haha.
Re: Who loves THANKSGIVING???
SUCKERRRRRRS! Ya'll gotta deal with in-laws!! I DONT!!
(silver lining, right?)
I love Thanksgiving! My mother holds it the Sunday before the actual T-day so everyone can come. I am bringing a few pies for desserts and rolls, sweet potatoes and macncheese (family thing lol).
Then Thursday morning we head up to Austin for the IL's T-day. That one is always more eventful lol.
You know whats funny though?
I ACTUALLY LIKED MY IN LAWS!!!
I love Thanksgiving too! Both of Matt's parents have passed away, so there aren't any parents-in-law, but we flip flop Thanksgiving & Christmas every year at his sister's. This year, we head to her house in St. Louis for Christmas.
We will be starting a new tradition this year at Thanksgiving. Since my grandmother passed away in May, my mom is making T-Day dinner at her house and my uncle & aunt will come there (instead of us going to them like we have been doing for-ever). I have mixed emotions about it all, but I am glad to be starting new traditions at my parents' house.
I love all of it other than my hubby thinks he is the king of the bird! Don't touch the oven or the bird or you may lose a hand.
I love eating to much and looking at all the sale papers, watching football, green bean cass, rolls, gravy, stuffing, butternut squash all of it!!!
This year is gonna be tough on his dad! But it will be good!!!
You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
Great, except for the fact I can't stand it! haha Thanks for the suggestion though. My grandma use to travel with a chocolate cake in her suitcase... might be turning into her sooner than I expected. I think I'm gonna have to invest some time into looking for recipes.
I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving! Not just the day, but the whole week! It's really big in my hometown-- we have a pep rally, bonfire, the WHOLE town shuts down so everyone can go out and get wasted, the Thanksgiving football game to end the season, then TWO dinners (IL's and my grandparents), and then shopping all day the next day!
Not to mention that the very next day I'm allowed to start singing Christmas music and hanging up my decorations and no one can say anything about it! haha
Thanksgiving is awesome. Unlike Christmas, there is no pressure to buy gifts, spend a crapload of money. The point of Thanksgiving (besides, duh, giving thanks) is to eat like it's your job. I heart that.
Last year DH and I prepared our first ever Thanksgiving feast in our home and just had my parents over so it was a quiet holiday. But we had a TON of food and everything came together pretty awesomely so I'm proud of that. I think we'll host another one this year the Sunday before the real one if we do end up travelling to spend it with my ILs this year (they live on the other side of the country).
